Luis Enrique: 'Paris Saint-Germain can still beat Barcelona without Ibrahimovic'

Luis Enrique has insisted that Paris Saint-Germain can still beat Barcelona without talismanic striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The two footballing giants meet in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final match tomorrow night, and the Spaniard believes that PSG still pose a threat without the Sweden international.

"Paris have several major absentees but let's not forget that they won against us when Zlatan was out, and we won when we met and he played," the Barca coach told reporters.

"So, one never knows the importance of absentees. We had a good game in September, although we lost - we had many chances.

"But we will definitely need to improve defensively. They have a very good squad, and they showed yet again their qualities by beating Chelsea [in the last 16]."

Ibrahimovic is out of the quarter-final first leg against the Catalan giants, after he was given a four-match ban for a foul-mouthed rant about France.
