ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC hopes to stun former club Barcelona in the quarter-finals of the Champions League — but admits he will need some help from David Beckham.
Paris St-Germain take on the Spanish giants at the Parc des Princes tonight in their first last eight clash 1995 — when they also knocked Barca out of the competition.Beckham, 37, is likely to start on the bench but he has delivered some impressive cameos in his six appearances to help steer PSG towards a likely French title and is certain to be involved over the two matches.
Ibrahimovic, who has already scored 29 times this season, said: “This is where Beckham comes in and is important. He has this experience — he has been in this situation.
“With the greatest respect in terms of my team-mates, not all of them have been there before.
“In one month, Beckham has made a big impact on the whole team. He has big qualities on the pitch.
“With the ball he is fantastic, he gets in good crosses, he has a good touch with the ball. He is a fighter, has a big heart and he is winner.
“There are two months left and we can win everything — the Champions League, the League and the Cup.
“As for who is the best at taking free-kicks, I do not know. As long as we score, I don’t care.”

Ancelotti said: “There is still time if he wants to send over the videos. I am also happy to hear what he has to say.”
Although he did not speak publicly yesterday, Barca boss Tito Vilanova once again travelled with the squad — and took training last night — having returned from New York after treatment for throat cancer.
