PSG looking to stamp authority with win at Porto

Paris: With Zlatan Ibrahimovic scoring almost at will, and a defense that is increasingly hard to breach, big-spending Paris Saint-Germain's confidence is high ahead of Wednesday's trip to face FC Porto in the Champions League.

PSG has won its past five games to move up to second place in the French league, with Ibrahimovic scoring six goals during that spell and the defense conceding only two.

PSG has not played a team of Porto's caliber yet this season and faces its first big test against the Portuguese champions, although its defenders will no doubt be relieved that striker Hulk no longer plays for the club.

Dynamo Kiev hosts Dinamo Zagreb in the other Group A match, with both teams getting back to winning ways over the weekend.
