United Kingdom

Paris Saint-Germain progressed to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, a 2-1 victory away to Chelsea seeing them win their last-16 tie 4-2 on aggregate.

Leading 2-1 from the first leg in France last month, Adrien Rabiot put them ahead on the night after just 16 minutes at Stamford Bridge.

Diego Costa equalised before the half-hour mark but Zlatan Ibrahimovic netted in the second half to put the tie beyond doubt.
