Laurent Blanc has warned Manchester City that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be back to his potent best as they bid to reach the Champions League semi-finals on Tuesday.
The prolific Swede is expected to be the chief obstacle in City's way at the Etihad Stadium and will be determined to make up for a mixed night in France last week.
Ibrahimovic scored and hit the crossbar but also missed a penalty and spurned another good chance when put clean through in the thrilling 2-2 draw at the Parc des Princes.
The 34-year-old has had a fine season, netting 30 goals in Ligue 1 for the runaway champions. He is out of contract at the end of the campaign and has been linked with a move to England, most recently with City's rivals Manchester United.
But Blanc says he expects Ibrahimovic to be back at his sharpest for a crucial night which could see the club reach the last four of Europe's elite club competition for the first time in their history.
"We're always a bit surprised when Zlatan misses a chance but when you're a top goalscorer like him, you can miss a couple," said Blanc.
"Unfortunately for us he missed them in that game. He still scored though and he's someone who is extremely demanding of himself.
"He wants to show something else tomorrow, he wants to be more clinical in front of goal. If we create as many chances as the first leg, I think his conversion rate will be a lot higher."
Expanding on his expectations for the crunch clash, Blanc said there was not a lot to choose between the teams from an attacking point of view but knows improvements are necessary.
He said: "We've analysed the first game and looked at the errors we made. There was too wide a gap between players, we were not compact enough and opened too much space for City.
"When you think of the players they've got, particularly going forward, they can create problems for a lot of teams, not just us.
"We need to perform at the highest possible level, a higher level than the first game. PSG are capable of qualifying but we know how difficult it will be.
"I would still like us to create as many chances as we created last week because I am pretty sure we would score a fair few more."
