David Beckham makes PSG debut, jumps into the arms of Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Almost a month after signing for PSG, David Beckham made his debut in Paris, entering Sunday's Classique against Marseille in the 76th minute. PSG had a 1-0 lead since the 11th minute thanks to a Nicolas N'Koulou own goal. But with his wife in the stands and most eyes (and even a special Beck-Cam) on him, Beckham helped set up Zlatan Ibrahimovic for an injury-time goal that would seal the win for PSG and give his French critics a sampling of how he can contribute (outside of the club shop, that is).

Beckham flicked a looping pass off the side of his foot to Jeremy Menez, who then knocked the ball off Ibrahimovic's knee to put PSG up 2-0. As soon as the ball settled into the far side of the net, Beckham jumped into Ibrahimovic's arms to produce what Canal+ declared the "image of the night"...

Somewhere in Barcelona, Gerard Pique knows he's been forgotten.
