It was no surprise then to see pubs in Central Stockholm here touting Tuesday night's Champions League quarter-final first leg between Barcelona and Paris St Germain to be a contest between local hero Zlatan Ibrahimovic (PSG) and Barca superstar Lionel Messi.

Outside most local pubs here, one thing was common the announcement of the night's big match being telecast there. One pub however went a step further with its marketing as it wrote on the signboard - Zlatan PSG vs Messi Barcelona. Logically, the two players are incomparable. Messi is the better player by miles, while Ibrahimovic at 31, is into the evening of his career.
