Time for Champions League again and since last time against Malmö, Zlatan has started scoring. One against Guingamp last Tuesday and then against Nantes on Saturday. Tomorrow it's Shahktar Donestk-PSG in Lviv, read Ibra's thoughts before the game.
Tomorrow the group stage in the Champions League continues and you go up against the Ukrainian team Shakhtar Donetsk. What do you know about your opponent?
Due to the unrest in Donetsk the match will be played at Arena Lviv, almost 1 200 kilometers from Shaktar's real home-arena. How do you think it affects a team to be forced to play their home-matches on a completely different arena in another city?
In the opposing team there are many skillful Brazilians like Alex Teixeira, Taison and Bernard, but they lost big in the first match against Real Madrid. If you were to rank the teams in Group A, where do you place Shakhtar and where do you place PSG?
Focusing on you and PSG instead, how is the form?

Zlatan will not play tomorrow's league game against Bordeaux, Laurent Blanc stated on today's press conference. He will be saved for the Champions League-game against Malmö on Tuesday.
"Ibra could play tomorrow, but he will not. He will not be in the squad. We want to save him for Malmö on Tuesday in the Champions League. It's one of the advantages that we have when we have a substantial squad. His injury is not serious, but it is painful and requires rest. Javier Pastore will also miss Friday's game."

Sweden lost horribly to Austria 1-4 and probably lost the second place-direct qualification-spot to Russia. Zlatan scored for no reason in extra time, read his thought after the game.
Today, Sweden lost 4-1 and drops down to third place in Group G of the Euro qualifiers. In your opinion, why did Sweden lose today's match?
It was almost two years ago that Sweden last met Austria at Friends Arena. That match ended in a Swedish 2-1 win. Today it was the away team that won 4-1. Has the Swedish national team deteriorated over the last two years?
When the match was over you had worked hard for 90 minutes, although it was uncertain for a long time if you would play at all. Did you feel the injury and did it affect your performance?
