Ancelotti: Champions League is a special competition for Ibrahimovic

The pair worked together at Paris Saint-Germain and the five-time Champions League winner says that his former charge is desperate to lift the club game's top prize.

Former Paris Saint-Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti says the Champions League is a "special competition" for Zlatan Ibrahimovic and believes that the talismanic striker is determined to win it before he retires.

Ibrahimovic scored in each leg as PSG eliminated 2012 champions Chelsea in the last 16 and, despite winning league titles in four countries during the course of a glittering career, the 34-year-old has not yet laid his hands on Europe’s most prestigious prize.
