Souleymane Diawara relishing Zlatan Ibrahimovic test

Marseille defender Souleymane Diawara has revealed that he is relishing the chance to come up against Zlatan Ibrahimovic tonight.

The 34-year-old could line up against the Paris Saint-Germain striker in the Coupe de France tie at Pac des Princes, and admitted that he is looking forward to the prospect.

"I like to face world-class players," Diawara told reporters.

"When you're defending and you have the chance to play against players like [Ibrahimovic] it sure is motivating.

"If I have the chance to play, for sure I will prepare, but I'm not going to do any special training just for Zlatan."

The two teams met in Ligue 1 last Sunday, with Carlo Ancelotti's side winning 2-0.
