Barcelona right-back Dani Alves has admitted that he is concerned about the prospect of facing Zlatan Ibrahimovic when the two sides meet in the Champions League quarter-finals.

The former Barca player had his ban for a sending-off against Valencia reduced from two matches to one, which means he can now play in both legs against the Catalans.

"Ibrahimovic is a big worry for us," Alves told RMC. "He is a great player and a formidable athlete. I had the honour of being his teammate. We have come up against each other before, and I will approach the game in the same way I did then.

"We'll have to work very hard to make sure he doesn't score goals. We know that he is a very important player that can score at any moment, but, we also need to be wary of the other PSG players."

The first leg in Paris takes place on Tuesday night.
