Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has described Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic as a "special player".

The Sweden international played under Mourinho during their time at Inter Milan together, but the pair will be on opposite sides when the Blues play the Ligue 1 leaders in the Champions League quarter-finals.

"I worked with Thiago Motta, Maxwell and Zlatan, they were with me during the historic treble [at Inter]" he told RMC.

"But Zlatan is a special player, who has won all the championships and he wants to win the Champions League now. It is a dream for him and he will do anything to accomplish it, which will make him even more dangerous."

Mourinho's side are currently top of the Premier League.
