Prior to their Champions League tie against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, Ajax defender Ricardo van Rhijn had been claiming that he wasn’t worried about facing the Ligue 1 side’s Swedish striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
"I'm absolutely not afraid of Zlatan," the 23-year-old Ajax defender told RTV Noord-Holland. "I've stood toe-to-toe with top strikers before. He's not giving Ajax sleepless nights."
Even though Rhijn was somewhat right about that as Ajax were successful in holding onto PSG for a 1-1 draw, but he wasn’t quite standing toe-to-toe with Zlatan, if that is what he meant earlier.
