PSG star Ibrahimovic rues absence of Chelsea great Terry

Zlatan Ibrahimovic admits he would have loved to take on John Terry in the Champions League this week.

Ibra's PSG meet the Blues at Stamford Bridge in the Round of 16 second leg on Wednesday night but there will be no Terry as he has been ruled out with a hamstring injury.

Regarding the absence of the Chelsea great, Ibrahimovic was regretful that he will not be able to clash with the centre-back who he labels as the West London club's best.

"I would like him to play. We want to play against the best teams and the best players," said the Swede.

"If he's on the pitch it's the best team for Chelsea.

"Without him, it's also a fantastic team but to face the best players and succeed - that is what we play for."
