Chelsea’s Champions League hopes were
ended by Paris St-Germain at the last-16
stage once more as Zlatan Ibrahimovic
inspired the French champions to victory at
Stamford Bridge.
PSG built on their 2-1 lead from the first
leg when Ibrahimovic crossed perfectly for
Adrien Rabiot to score from close range
after 16 minutes.
Diego Costa’s smart finish put Chelsea level
on the night before half-time, but his
departure through injury on the hour and
Ibrahimovic’s simple finish from Angel di
Maria’s delivery seven minutes later sent
PSG into the last eight.
The visitors, who knocked Chelsea out on
away goals at this stage last season, ended
the night in total control.
Chelsea – 10th in the Premier League – now
face the prospect of being without European
football next season, with Costa and Eden
Hazard limping off injured before Saturday’s
FA Cup quarter-final at Everton.
