This glorious Di Maria pass unlocked the Chelsea defence late on tonight

A fortuitous Zlatan Ibrahimovic free kick had given the hosts the lead in Paris.

SUPERB LINK-UP play between Angel Di Maria and Edinson Cavani ultimately ensured PSG deservedly beat Chelsea 2-1 in Paris tonight.

Cavani beat the visitors’ offside trap and latched onto an inch-perfect pass from the ex-Man United player to hand the French side a Champions League first-leg win.

John Mikel Obi’s finish from close range from a corner initially cancelled out Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s deflected free-kick.
