QPR skipper Joey Barton has taken a swipe at PSG and Zlatan Ibrahimovic ahead of their Champions League clash with Chelsea. Barton, a former Olympique Marseille player, has questioned the culture at PSG.

"The Parisians should be quietly at the top of Ligue 1, but this is not the case," he told Le Parisien.

"Ibrahimovic, obviously, has a lot of weight inside the club and we know his ego. It must be hard to handle for a coach. Laurent Blanc is, I suppose, less powerful for the owners than Ibra."

Barton continued: "I feel like there is not always joy in the locker room. To hope to eliminate Chelsea, you need solidarity and a perfect state of mind. Chelsea play better as a team.

"The Parisians are a sum of individualities rather than a true collective."
