Zlatan Ibrahimovic's agent says that the Paris Saint-Germain striker is "very happy" that he will be able to play against his old club Barcelona next Tuesday.

Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is "very happy" with UEFA's decision to reduce his ban on Tuesday, according to his agent Mino Raiola.

The 31-year-old's original two-match suspension was halved to one on appeal, leaving him available to take part in PSG's Champions League quarter-final first-leg tie against Barcelona next Tuesday.

"Zlatan is very happy with this decision," Le Parisien quotes Raiola as saying. "It means a lot to him to play in a Champions League quarter-final.

"Not because it's a match against Barca, one of his former clubs, but rather because it's a unique moment in PSG's season."

The first leg of the quarter-final tie will be played in Paris.
