John Obi Mikel Goes The Distance As Chelsea Crash Out Of Champions League

John Obi Mikel’s Chelsea crashed out of the Champions League on Wednesday night after Paris Saint-Germain beat the team from London in the last 16 for the second season on the trot.

The French club won 4-2 on aggregate, with Sweden star Zlatan Ibrahimovic scoring a crucial goal in the 67th minute to put PSG 2-1 up on the night.

PSG took the lead through Adrien Rabiot in the 16th minute but Chelsea were not broken and found a way back to parity through Diego Costa eleven minutes later.

In his 59th Champions League appearance, Mikel was shown a yellow card by the German official Felix Brych for bringing down Lucas Moura in the 53rd minute.

The Nigeria international worked a ninety-minute shift in midfield against Paris Saint-Germain.
