Zlatan Ibrahimovic Indirectly Blames Pep Guardiola for Champions League Failure

Zlatan Ibrahimovic spent one season at Barcelona and nearly tasted Champions League triumph for the first time before the favoured Catalans were swept aside by Inter Milan in the semi-final stage. 

Ibrahimovic's current team, Paris Saint-Germain, faces Barcelona on Tuesday, and although Ibrahimovic will miss the clash because of an injury, it was still a fitting time for the superstar Swede to open up about his year with Barcelona.

Now, remember, Ibrahimovic has been never been shy over his distaste for former Barcelona coach, Pep Guardiola, who was the boss during his season there. 

In an interview with Canal+ (h/t The Guardian), Ibrahimovic blamed "someone" for their Champions League failure. It's also worth noting that Ibrahimovic was subbed off in the 63rd minute of the second leg by Guardiola. 

"

We had the best team in the world, but we failed to win the Champions League because of bad decisions from someone. 

But it's like that. It's nothing to complain about today. You have to forget it because I had great moments at Barcelona. 

"

Yep, that Guardiola-related fire still burns within Ibrahimovic.
