Gerard Pique has welcomed Barcelona's capture of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The defender said: "He is one of the most complete players in the world. He has exquisite technique and great strength, a real handful for defenders.

"It is always very complicated to play against such strikers because they protect the ball and it is difficult to anticipate what they will do. I know I will improve every day just training with him.

"With all his quality, he is a genuine Barca player."
