Zlatan crashes website.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic's return to Malmo emerged as
one of the more endearing sub-plots of the
Champions League group-stage draw - and it's
already impacting upon the Swedish club.
Shortly after Malmo - who saw off Scottish
champions Celtic to reach the draw on Thursday -
were grouped with Real Madrid, Paris Saint-
Germain and Shakhtar Donetsk, the club's official
website crashed as a result of an overload of
users desperate for news on when they can
expect Ibra to visit with the French champions.
Zlatan does not draw teams in the
Champions League, teams draw Zlatan.

"There was a lot of pressure on it [the website]
just after the draw was made," Malmo's head of
communications, Peter Ahlander, told Reuters
with the site still struggling to load promptly
some 12 hours after the draw was completed.
Ibrahimovic himself had earlier posted a message
on his official Facebook account to say it was "a
dream" to return to his old stomping ground.
The best that could happen.I have
experienced a lot during my football career
and this will be one of those moments...

Malmo sporting director Daniel Andersson said
after the draw that the whole squad would benefit
from facing Zlatan and PSG.
"Clearly, that will be the main topic. It'll be great
if he comes. The boys will be tested agains the
best possible opposition," Andersson said.
Ibrahimovic, who was born in Malmo and began
his professional career with the current Swedish
champions, is still looking to win his first
Champions League title.
