AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has repeated his well-publicised criticism of Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola.
Sweden international Ibrahimovic left Barca for Milan in 2010 after just one season at Camp Nou, amid rumours of a falling out with Guardiola.
Since returning to Serie A, Ibrahimovic has wasted few chances to publicly denounce his former coach.
When I left Barcelona, I said to myself: I m leaving the best team in the world but there is a person having a problem with me , he told FourFourTwo, referring to Guardiola.

Tottenham midfielder Rafael van der Vaart has revealed that he wants to play in the Eredivisie again before his career comes to an end.
The 29-year-old still has two years remaining on his current contract with Tottenham following his arrival in August 2010.

Two sides who will be desperate to bounce back for their European defeats earlier in the week, Sevilla will welcome Real Madrid to the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán on Saturday afternoon.
Sevilla
Starting with the hosts, while Sevilla might have really had the feel of a side who had turned a corner either side of November s international break, Los Palanganas certainly came crashing back down to earth in midweek.

Watching their eye-catching five-match winning run across all…
