LONDON: Paris Saint-Germain progressed to the quarter-finals of the Champions League on Wednesday, after 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.

It is the second season running in which PSG have eliminated Chelsea at this stage and the fourth successive year they have reached the last eight.
