Willian has been a lone bright spot in a dismal season for Chelsea and it seems even Zlatan Ibrahimovic is aware of the Brazilian's brilliance.
In Parc des Princes last night the midfielder ran tirelessly, linking the play between the embattled Chelsea defence and an increasingly isolated and bedraggled looking Diego Costa.
While he didn't add to his impressive haul of five Champions League goals for the season, the 27-year-old was a shining light - particularly when compared to the ineffective and disinterested Eden Hazard.
Willian's class was not lost on Paris Saint-Germain talisman Ibrahimovic, who sought out the Chelsea man's jersey after the game - despite having already swapped shirts with Pedro.
It meant the Swedish superstar had nothing to offer Willian in return for his shirt but, in fairness, if Zlatan asks for your jersey you're going to give it to him.
