Ibrahimovic regrets not scoring against Malmo
The Swede revealed his desire to get on the scoresheet against his boyhood side, but still believes victory proves PSG have genuine strength-in-depth this season
Zlatan Ibrahimovic admitted he was disappointed not to have scored for Paris Saint-Germain against former club Malmo , though he revealed it was a "great feeling" to face them in the Champions League.
The Sweden international helped current employers Paris Saint-Germain record a 2-0 victory over the team where he started his professional career.
However, he was hauled off in the 75th minute after being unable to mark the occasion with a goal despite having a trio of chances that he could not beat Malmo goalkeeper Johan Wiland with in the first half.
"It was a great feeling to play against one of my former teams," Ibrahimovic told beIn Sport .
"In addition they are a Swedish club, it does not happen often to see them in the Champions League and here I had the chance to confront them. It was a bit like a dream.
"But I was motivated, believe me, I wanted to score. I did not do it."
Angel Di Maria and Edinson Cavani did score for PSG to give Laurent Blanc's side a winning start to their Group A campaign.
And their strength-in-depth prompted Ibrahimovic to state the French champions are better equipped for success in the competition this year, having been knocked out at the quarter-final stage last season.
"We have a stronger team this season," he added. "Di Maria adds more, Kevin Trapp is also there.
"We have great players who have to find their role and once they have adjusted, they will benefit the whole team."
