Paris Saint-Germain beat Chelsea 2-1 at Stamford Bridge, advancing to the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals 4-2 on aggregate. Adrien Rabiot opened the scoring for the visitors, but Chelsea were quick to equalise through Diego Costa only 11 minutes later.
The Spain striker was subbed off 15 minutes into the second half due to injury, though, and seven minutes later Zlatan Ibrahimovic sealed the result with a fine finish past Thibaut Courtois, sending Chelsea out of the competition in their first home loss against French opposition.
This is the second consecutive season where PSG have knocked the Blues out of Europe in the Round of 16, though last year it was done in far more dramatic fashion when Thiago Silva's 114th-minute extra time header saw Les Parisiens past Jose Mourinho's men.
