Thiago Silva celebrates his goal to dump Chelsea out of the Champions League
Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney took to Twitter last night to commend PSG's performance against Chelsea in the 2-2 Champions League round-of-16 draw at Stamford Bridge, saying that it was one of the "best performances with 10 men" he had ever seen.
PSG were forced to play with a man down for the majority of the game, after Zlatan Ibrahimovic was dismissed in the 31st minute for a foul on Oscar. The result meant PSG progressed to the quarter-finals of Europe's top competition.
After the majority of Chelsea's players surrounded the referee before Ibrahimovic's dismissal, the Swedish striker later described them as "babies".
"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."
