PSG needs talisman Ibrahimovic
The Parisian cracks have struggled this season in the absence of their star striker and having him on the pitch for such an important tie solves a big problem for the Italian manager, who couldn't adequately replace him in the previous round against another Spanish side, Valencia. Ibrahimovic was suspended after being sent off towards the end of the first leg tie with Valancia and was initially handed a two-match ban for a tackle that was deemed to be dangerous and excessive. PSG has successfully appealed against that decision and Ibrahimovic has seen his ban reduce to just a single match, allowing him to be available for the Paris clash on 2 April.
