Paris Saint-Germain v Real Madrid: Ibrahimovic ready to face 'one of the best'

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is confident Paris Saint-Germain are ready for their encounter with a Real Madrid side he has described as "one of the best teams in the world".

Top spot in Group A will be up for grabs at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday, the two clubs having both taken maximum points from their opening two fixtures with victories over Shakhtar Donetsk and Malmo.

PSG have only lost to Spanish opposition on home soil twice in 12 matches. The most recent such encounter was a 3-1 defeat to Barcelona in last season's quarter-finals - the stage they have been eliminated from in the past three seasons.

But Ibrahimovic - who became the French club's all-time leading scorer on 110 goals following a double against Marseille, before adding a further two in the 2-0 win over Bastia on Saturday - insisted they are ready to test themselves against one of the greatest sides in football once more.

"Against Real Madrid it will be completely different [to the Bastia match]," the Swede said.

"We'll be playing at home, against one of the best teams in the world - it will be nice.

"Now we can focus on that match - we're ready."

Karim Benzema, Pepe and Dani Carjaval did not participate in a training session on the same day, so coach Rafael Benitez may be forced to deploy Danilo at right-back.

"It will be a difficult game. They are a great side, but we are ready to play," Danilo said.

"Having so many injuries is difficult but we have players to replace them and those that play have to give 100 per cent."
