Paris Saint-Germain striker
Zlatan Ibrahimovic expects Barcelona to win the
Champions League after the Catalans swept his team aside in the
quarter-finals.
Two goals
from Neymar either side of half-time helped Barcelona to a 2-0 win at Camp Nou
on Tuesday, just six days after the Catalans had recorded a 3-1 victory in
their first-leg encounter with the Ligue 1 titleholders at the Parc des
Princes.
Ibrahimovic
had no complaints about the result, conceding that Luis Enrique's men were a
class above PSG.
"We
have to be realistic, Barcelona were simply better than us," the former
Blaugrana attacker told reporters in Catalunya. "They were the better
team and deserved their win.
"They
will probably go on to win the Champions League now."
PSG's
quarter-final exit means they will have to wait at least another season for
European glory, but Ibrahimovic thinks it could very well take them even longer
to conquer the continent.
"As
for PSG, it is not possible to win the Champions League on the short
term," the Sweden international added. "We have taken several big
steps forward in recent years and were eliminated by a superb team.
"But
it is not worth lying about it or hiding behind excuses. Reality is that PSG
are not at the level to win the Champions League yet."
