PSG not the same without Ibra

Mathieu is optimistic about the upcoming Champions League match between Barcelona and PSG, and praises their star player Ibrahimovic.

Barcelona's French defender, Jérémy Mathieu, has said that for his side to get a positive result in Tuesday's second group game in the Champions League against Paris Saint Germain, they have to concentrate one hundred per cent at the back.

There is a lot of talent playing in this group, and Mathieu made special mention of Ibrahimovic. "If he is not there, PSG are not the same", he said in an interview with the FC Barcelona TV station.

He also spoke of Luis Enrique, whom he considers to be "the right manager for Barça". "Luis Enrique is a man with a lot of ambition and he has a clear picture of what he wants to do", Barcelona's French international star added.

Finally, the 30-year-old Mathieu talked about his transfer this summer from Valencia, saying that Barcelona is a very big club, and added that when you wear the Barcelona shirt you are under a lot more pressure.
