Inter striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has hailed Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of their big Champions League duel next week.

Inter travel to Old Trafford hoping to come away with a place in the quarter-finals of Europe's top club competition. 'Ibra' is likely to start in that game, as is Manchester United ace Ronaldo.

The big Sweden international has heaped high praise on the current FIFA Player of the Year, but he believes the Nerazzurri will prevail.

"Ronaldo is very strong and he is playing very well," Ibrahimovic told Sky Sport Italia.

"He won the Ballon d'Or and the World Player of the Year and he won three trophies with the team.

"I have to continue doing well and then I will win the Ballon d'Or, but the most important thing is to win with the team."

Inter have consistently failed in Europe in years gone by, but the hitman believes this could be their year.

"We have won the league in the last two or three years and it's about time that we won the Champions League," added the striker.

"Manchester United are strong, but so are Inter, and if you want to win the trophies then you have to win these games.

"If we stay compact and focused then I don't really see any difficulties.

"We have to play better and with more faith, making less mistakes."
