Ibrahimovic: I don't need the Ballon d'Or to know I'm the best

The Sweden international claims he is the world's greatest player after equalling the record for goals scored in the group stage of the Champions League. Zlatan Ibrahimovic claims that he does not need to win the Ballon d'Or to know that he is the best player in the world.

The Swede's neat finish just seven minutes into Tuesday's 2-1 victory over Olympiakos at the Parc des Princes was his eighth goal in this season's Champions League group stage and equalled the tournament record held by Ruud van Nistelrooy, Hernan Crespo, Filippo Inzaghi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, even though he is now in an excellent position to take outright possession of the record by netting in his side's final outing against Benfica, the 32-year-old insists that he is unconcerned with individual accolades - including the Ballon d'Or.

"It's not something I think about and it is something that is not important for me," Ibrahimovic told reporters.

"I do not need to win this trophy to know I am the best."

PSG guaranteed themselves top spot in Group C thanks to Edinson Cavani's late goal against the Greek champions and Ibrahimovic says he is now looking forward to the last 16.

"Our aim was to get out of the group stage and we have done that," the striker explained.

"We must now wait for the draw to see who we play but, until then, we will train hard and be ready for the next match."

Is there any way to back for Sehwag?

Virender Sehwag's omission from current India teams, and his murky form in the on-going domestic season, has occasioned in conjecture that his international career has met a sudden end. However, specialists who have worked with and experiential Sehwag in the last five years decline to believe he is done.

In the 2013-14 domestic seasons, Sehwag's uppermost score is the 59 he scored for Delhi in the Challenger Trophy. In first-class cricket, his highest is 38, in contradiction of West Indies A in Hubli. In three rounds of Ranji Trophy matches for Delhi, Sehwag has only 69 runs in six innings. Is it a bout of dreadful form or is he playing badly? Is the problem technical or a loss of confidence?
