Zlatan confident ahead of Chelsea clash
Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s PSG side will take on Chelsea today in the Champions League and he paid tribute to to the club’s Qatari owners who have financed their remarkable rise to the top of French football.
“The team, the club I’m playing in now, is a project that began three-and-a-half years ago,” Ibrahimovic said.
“What happened before that, with all respect … this club was born the day the Qataris took over. People aim to measure our development since, but look at Chelsea. They had the same thing 12 years ago and when did they win the Champions League? In 2012.
“With time these things will come. With time these owners can achieve anything here. There are no limits. They will hunt down this Champions League until they get it and they will not stop, with me or without me.
“I wanted to be part of this and to take on this challenge. I want to do things, individual and collective, that will be written in history books. Please give it time and we will see.”
“I’m only warming up. I don’t believe it’s the end of my career,” Ibrahimovic, who is Ligue 1’s leading scorer with 23 goals, said.
“I think age is just a number and the difference is how you feel. I feel very young. The season I’ve done so far, I never had better statistics than this.
“When I was young and talking about the Champions League, yes, it was almost an obsession, but then I started to mature, started to get to know myself.
“And I said to myself, ‘If I win it or not, it won’t change the player I am.’ But if I can win it, of course I’ll be happy.”
