Zlatan Ibrahimovic hails ruthless PSG after eliminating Chelsea from the Champions League
Zlatan Ibrahimovic paid tribute to his side’s clinical finishing as PSG ran out 2-1 winners at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea trailed 2-1 from the first leg in Paris, and the Ligue 1 side went on to replicate that scoreline in west London to send the Blues crashing out of Europe.
It is the second time in as many seasons that Chelsea have suffered elimination at the hands of the French outfit and for Ibrahimovic, who was dismissed in the first half at the Bridge last season, it was a sweet feeling indeed.
"I stayed more than 20 minutes on the pitch this year! We did a good game, very stable,” the striker told BT Sport.
“We played with lots of patient possession and when we had a chance to strike we scored two goals. We had enough to win the game.
"Overall we played the way we wanted to. It was not easy, you have to watch out. Chelsea's front four are able to do anything.
"We are doing good things, where we end up we don't know. We are not satisfied yet."
