Chelsea suffer defeat as Zlatan Ibrahimovic's goal sends PSG through to the Quarter finals

The Sweden international set up his side's first goal of the game and later swooped to kill the tie off in the second half, after Diego Costa gave the hosts hope with his goal

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was in imperious form to end Chelsea's Champions League campaign, as the striker helped Paris Saint-Germain seal a 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge which made it 4-2 on aggregate to the Ligue 1 side. 


The Sweden superstar created the opening goal for Adrien Rabiot and, after half-time, he scored for a fourth consecutive Champions League match to secure a repeat of the first-leg scoreline in Paris.
As in the French capital, Chelsea gave the runaway Ligue 1 leaders plenty to think about and Diego Costa's all-action performance was deserving of his 27th-minute equaliser.
But the Spain international limped off with an apparent calf injury and, sensing a loss of impetus from Chelsea, Laurent Blanc's men struck.
Ibrahimovic was sent off before his team-mates secured a memorable extra-time triumph over Chelsea in the same round last season.
But he made no mistake on the end of Angel Di Maria's 67th-minute cross, granting him the centre-stage he so often craves and occupies as PSG progressed.
