Chelsea No 1 Thibaut Courtois insists he holds no fear in facing Zlatan Ibrahimovic when the pair meet in their Champions League last 16 second-leg clash on Wednesday.
The Blues carry a 1-1 first-leg score into the game at Stamford Bridge after Courtois pulled off a succession of impressive saves at the Parc des Princes, which included denying the Sweden striker with a late stop.
The 22-year-old remains confident of keeping out the former Juventus and Barcelona forward again as Jose Mourinho's in-form side chase a treble in the manager's second spell in west London.
Speaking to RMC, the Belgium international said: 'No, I'm not afraid. 'I played against him three weeks ago, and I played well. I hope to stop him again on Wednesday. I know he's a great striker, and that it's always difficult to stop him, but we have to do that if we want to go through.'
'We're confident, but we expect a very difficult game. Paris are going to come here to score goals. It'll be a very complicated game. We're ready, and we hope to win in front of our fans. We'll have to see the tactics the coach puts in place. What is certain is that we cannot sit back and wait.
'We have to defend well, but we mustn't go for the 0-0 because if we concede a goal, Paris will qualify by winning 1-0. We have to play to our strengths by trying to score goals and win the game.'
