Ibrahimovic Joy at Advancing

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC says he is delighted to have reached the quarter finals of the Champions League with Ajax after their 1-1 draw with Roma.

It is the first time the Swede has been involved in the knock-out phase of the competition and says he would never have thought the chance possible a couple of years ago.

"Truly unbelievable," the forward told TV3.  "Who would have thought I'd be here two years ago.

"We played to win, but Roma had the home advantage and also wanted the win.

"It went really well for me. Especially, considering I was feeling an injury before the game.

"By the end I had cramp in both legs." 1
