Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice in his last appearance at the Parc des Princes for PSG in a 4-0 rout of Nantes on Saturday.

With the title long wrapped up and a French Cup final against bitter rivals Marseille to come a week later, the night was all about Ibrahimovic.

Having scored in the 18th minute with his first goal, Ibrahimovic netted a minute form time from Javier Pastore's cross to seal the winner 

It was the perfect end to his last match at the Parc in a PSG shirt before leaving for pastures new, and he was immediately substituted, but not before his children ran onto the pitch wearing PSG replica shirts bearing the names King and Legend on their backs - a reference to Ibrahimovic's Friday tweet in announcing his departure: "I came like a king, left like a legend."

Wearing the No 10 jersey, Ibrahimovic acknowledged the crowd as Nantes obligingly waited patiently in the 10th minute before taking a free-kick. Marquinhos and Lucas Moura scored the other goals for champions PSG.

Elsewhere on Saturday, Monaco secured the third and final Champions League qualification spot as first half goals from Ivan Cavaleiro and a Fabinho penalty gave them a 2-0 win over Montpellier.

Nice won 3-2 at Guingamp but had to settle for fourth in Hatem Ben Arfa's final game for the south coast club.

Toulouse scored two goals in the final 12 minutes through Martin Braithwaite and Yann Bodiger to turn a 2-1 deficit at Angers into a 3-2 victory that kept them a point above Reims, whose 4-1 win over second-placed Lyon wasn't enough to prevent them descending into Ligue 2 alongside Lorient and Troyes.
