Zlatan Ibrahimovic lasted just 31 minutes before his red card in PSG's 2-2 Champions League draw at Stamford Bridge last night, a result which knocked Chelsea out of the Champions League, but his shirt went to a good home - Brooklyn Beckham's.

His father David Beckham was a team-mate of the mercurial Swede's when he was briefly at PSG in 2013, and Brooklyn posted the image to his Instagram account after the game.

Brooklyn, 16, who was reportedly released by Arsenal in recent weeks, was an eager spectator for the match at Stamford Bridge, and also posted an image of the stadium with the caption: "PSG PSG PSG PSG".

Brooklyn attended the match with his father and brothers Romeo, 12, and Cruz , 10.

Alongside the caption, Brooklyn wrote: "Thanks @iamzlatanibrahimovic for the shirt. And well played."

Ibrahimovic was dismissed for a foul on Oscar in the first-half, but said afterwards the Chelsea players acted like "babies" to get him sent off by crowding around referee Bjorn Kuipers.

"When I got the red card all the Chelsea players come around," he said.

"It felt like I had a lot of babies around me."
