Zlatan Ibrahimovic's PSG hat trick enough to top Player Power Rankings

ESPN FC's worldwide editorial desks nominate their top 10 performers from the week's international action and the results are collated into a Top 10.

Let us know what you think of the countdown by commenting below or on Twitter using #ESPNFCrankings.

1. Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Paris Saint-Germain)

With Paris Saint-Germain gearing up for a UEFA Champions League quarterfinal with Manchester City on Wednesday, Ibrahimovic put Les Parisiens in the mood at the weekend. His hat trick in PSG's 4-1 smashing of Nice was the Swede's second in his last three Ligue 1 appearances.

2. Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid)

Griezmann scored a pair of goals in Atletico's 5-1 dismantling of Real Betis on Saturday, but he could've (and perhaps should've) added another three to that tally if not for the heroics of goalkeeper Antonio Adan. The brace brought the Frenchman's La Liga goal-scoring total to 19 this season, the most in Spain outside of the attacking trios of Barcelona and Real Madrid.

3. Bruno (Udinese)

Udinese's 3-1 win over Napoli on Sunday drew headlines for Gonzalo Higuain's spectacular sending off, but it was Bruno who stole the show. The Portuguese youth international picked up a first-half brace (and had a penalty saved) en route to moving his side six points clear of the relegation zone.

4. Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal)

After missing nearly two months with a hamstring injury, it took Alexis a month to return to form, and the Chilean is now rounding that into a purple patch. After registering one goal and one assist in his first eight appearances after his return from injury, Arsenal's electric attacker has tallied two goals and four assists in his past six appearances -- including one of each in the Gunners' 4-0 demolition of Watford on Saturday.

5. Pedro (Chelsea)

Without Willian and Eden Hazard to channel Chelsea's creative instincts at Aston Villa, Pedro was left in charge of the West London club's attack on Saturday. Thankfully for Guus Hiddink, the Villans' woeful performance allowed the Spaniard to run riot, netting twice -- his first goals since a Feb. 13 brace vs. lowly Newcastle -- en route to a 4-0 thrashing of the Midlands club.

6. Javier Hernandez (Bayer Leverkusen)

Friday's 3-0 win over sleepwalking Wolfsburg was as much an endorsement of Bayer Leverkusen's quality as it was an indictment of the 2008-09 Bundesliga champions. "Chicharito" played a crucial role in the victory, scoring an insurance goal 13 minutes after replacing Lars Bender before setting up Leverkusen's third. His 15 goals this season is good for fourth in the Bundesliga goal-scoring race.

7. Thorgan Hazard (Borussia Monchengladbach)

Hazard only has one Belgian cap to his name, but his performance in Sunday's 5-0 statement win over third-placed Hertha Berlin may put Eden's little brother in line for a place at Euro 2016. The younger Hazard scored twice, which accounts for 40 percent of his goals this season, and was voted Man of the Match by German outlet kicker.

8. Gareth Bale (Real Madrid)

If Saturday's Clasico win over Barcelona is to kick-start Real Madrid's season, perhaps it's time for the club to concede that Bale is central to any such rebirth. The Weslhman was Los Blancos' most dangerous attacker at the Camp Nou, popping up left, right and centre, assisting on Cristiano Ronaldo's winner after having a perfectly good goal of his own for a phantom push on Jordi Alba.

9. Suso (Genoa)

After finding minutes hard to come by at Liverpool and AC Milan, Suso has found some semblance of consistency on loan at Genoa. In his first 12 appearances with the club after joining in January, the former Spanish youth international scored a single goal and an assist. On Sunday, Suso bagged a hat trick in Genoa's 4-0 win over Frosinone.

10. Wes Morgan (Leicester City)

Not only has Morgan led Leicester City to five clean sheets in their past six outings, he also scored the latest decisive goal in the Foxes' 15th one-goal win of the season, beating Southampton 1-0 on Sunday to move seven points clear of Tottenham atop the Premier League table with six matches to play.

Also receiving votes: Keylor Navas (Real Madrid), Kasper Schmeichel (Leicester City), Alexandre Lacazette (Lyon), Ousmane Dembele (Rennes), Alex Iwobi (Arsenal), Karim Benzema (Real Madrid), Mario Mandzukic (Juventus), Adrian Ramos (Borussia Dortmund), Henrikh Mkhitaryan (Borussia Dortmund), N'Golo Kante (Leicester City), Kostas Mitroglou (Benfica).
