Ibrahimovic worked with Mourinho at Inter Milan, but has never scored against a team managed by the Portuguese in seven attempts.
And the former Real Madrid boss says he has no intention of setting up his team to specifically counter the threat posed by the 'fantastic' Sweden international.
Mourinho told reporters: "I don't have a plan for him as he's very difficult to play against. He's such a good player but we're focused on the team.
"This is what we're going to do. We know Zlatan is a fantastic one. We're going to focus on the team and ourselves."
Mourinho has also called on the Stamford Bridge crowd to roar the side home in the decisive tie, with the scores currently locked level at 1-1 after the first leg.
"I think somebody tomorrow has to be a little bit magic and that's the crowd," he added.
"We played the (League Cup) semi against Liverpool and it was fantastic. The crowd was an extra. We had a fantastic stadium supporting the home team. Hopefully we can have that in our favour."
Meanwhile, Mourinho has confirmed that Nemanja Matic is set to feature against PSG after recovering from an ankle knock.
"We're happy he's back," he said. "He's fit to play and he is important. He's had no football for two weeks and no training because he was injured. He's going to play tomorrow in his normal position."
