Chelsea's hopes of a historic treble came to grinding halt as the
Premier League leaders were dumped out of the Champions
League last 16 on away goals by French giants PSG.
PSG twice came from behind at Stamford Bridge, demonstrating
great character to play for the last hour of normal time and the
added 30 minutes without star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, after he
had been sent off for a foul on Oscar. He later described the
Chelsea players as 'babies' for their attempts to influence the
referee.
In a highly physical match, replete with fouls and contentious
decisions, Gary Cahill's late goal in the first 90 minutes looked to
be sending Chelsea through to the next round, before their former
player David Luiz equalised to bring about extra time. Blues
forward Eden Hazard then scored a penalty for the home side after
Thiago Silva's handball in the box, but the PSG captain soon
atoned for his error with a goal of his own six minutes from time to
secure the Ligue 1 side's progression to the quarter-finals, much
to the delight of goading rival fans online.
Here are some of the best memes and tweets from social media on
the night... source: dailymailuk |
