Ibrahimovic acusses Chelsea players of behaving like ‘babies’
Chelsea crashed out of the Champions League under a storm of condemnation after shameful scenes marred a big night at Stamford Bridge.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic the Paris Saint-Germain striker who was sent off at Stamford Bridge during their Champions league clash on Wednesday night, has accused the Chelsea’s players of acting like”babies”
The Swede was sent off for a tackle on Oscar after 31 minutes but PSG survived the last hour of normal time and extra time to knock Chelsea out of the Champions League last 16 on away goals.
The Dutch referee, Bjorn Kuipers, was quick to make his decision, although he was surrounded by nine Chelsea players as he pulled the card out of his top pocket.
Ibrahimovic said: “I don’t know if I have to get angry or start to laugh. For me when I saw the red card I was like ‘the guy doesn’t know what he’s doing’.
“It felt like I had a lot of babies around me.”
Ibrahimovic, 33, also suggested Oscar feigned injury in the challenge: “I don’t know if he was acting afterwards. Doesn’t matter. We won the game, we went through and let’s see what happens.”
The game at Stamford Bridge finished 2-2 on Wednesday and 3-3 on aggregate with PSG going through to the quarter-finals on away goals.
