PSG star Ibrahimovic hands favouritism to Chelsea

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has tried his hand at playing mind games ahead of Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League clash with Chelsea this week.

The French giants host the Blues in the quarter-final first leg at Parc des Princes on Wednesday night and despite their recent success Europe's top teams, Ibrahimovic feels PSG are underdogs for the meeting.

"I think Chelsea are the super favourites. We are beginners in everything we do while Chelsea have had a project for 10 years," said Ibra.

"Experience is an advantage for the one who has it. I think Chelsea has more experience in the Champions League. We're in the position Chelsea were eight or nine years ago.

"The big difference with last year is that it is my second year as well as my teammates'. We know each other better and I think we are better today than one year ago collectively."

Last season, PSG took out the French Ligue 1 title while losing to Barcelona on away goals in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
