Thierry Henry has declared that Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is an "extraordinary" player.
The former Arsenal star spent one season with the Swede at Barcelona, and has lauded his ability to change matches with natural ability.
"Ibrahimovic is an extraordinary player," Henry told L’Equipe.
"He is a great player, we look at matches to see what kind of players [are involved] and you know that something is going to happen when he gets the ball.
"I played with him, I appreciate it. He is a very good guy, contrary to what people may think."
Henry also feels that David Beckham’s arrival in Ligue 1, along with the host of stars PSG have signed in recent months, will help to improve the competition's profile.
“I saw the Beckham’s debut. It's good for the French championship. Everyone talks about it. Now, if you go to any website, the first thing you see is the French championship.”
Carlo Ancelotti’s side play Olympique de Marseille in Coupe de France on Wednesday.

TERRIFIC STOP FROM NEUER! Just moments after a corner forced by a long-range strike from Lewandowski, Gundogan angles the ball wide to Reus, who picks out Blaszczykowski at the near post. The latter connects with the cross first time, but Neur is equal to it. That was a fine reaction save, but Dortmund should be ahead. And you know what, Dortmund deserve to be ahead. We're 15 minutes in but Bayern haven't started yet.
7:59 PM BST
Nothing to get too excited about just yet from a Dortmund perspective, but they are looking more purposeful than their heavily-fancied opponents, and Blaszczykowski has just had the first real shot in anger. It was a dreadful attempt, to be fair, but there's no denying that Dortmund have demonstrated the greater attacking intent thus far.

Bit of a cagey opening at Wembley. Hardly surprising, of course. Familiarity breeds contempt, as these two have shown in recent years, but it also breeds caution and it is worth remembering that both of their Bundesliga meetings this seasoned ended all-square.

I'm happy to report that not only is the Champions League final under way, Bastian Schweinsteiger is a part of it having shaken off that knock he received during the warm-up.
