Lucas Mendes calls on teammates to help stop Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Mendes calls on teammates to stop Ibrahimovic

Marseille centre-back Lucas Mendes has called on his teammates to help stop Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic when the two sides meet on Sunday night.

OM go into the fixture looking for three points to help boost their Champions League qualification hopes this campaign, with Lille currently occupying third place in Ligue 1.

"Ibra is a great player, a great striker. He's scored a lot of goals," Mendes told the press in France.

"We have to be really careful, because he can score goals at any time, but it's the whole team that needs to look out for him.

"Everyone sees OM losing this game. The players have to do their utmost to trouble PSG, and in every area - physically, tactically. There is nothing impossible in football, but they mustn't be afraid as that holds you back."

Marseille currently hold fifth position in the league table.
