Ibrahimovic confident ahead of debut

Speaking to Swedish televison channel TV4, Barcelona forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic (27) explained how he is feeling before his predicted debut today against English Premier League club Manchester City in the Joan Gamper Trophy:

"Of course I am a bit nervous but I am not worried about my qualities. I know how good I am. I have a lot of confidence.

It irritates me a little that I have to play with my arm protected. But I just have to give everything. I always try to do my best and give something back to the spectators. It's the people who follow you and pay the expensive tickets and I think they will enjoy it."
