WATCH: Zlatan Ibrahimovic seals PSG’s win over Chelsea in Champions League

Zlatan Ibrahimovic scoring important goals — stop it, that’s never happened before. Oh wait, that’s how the Swede has built most of his club and international reputation, you say?

Well, we can add his performance on Wednesday afternoon to that growing and aging legend. That’s because he put the dagger in any hopes for a Chelsea comeback and advancement to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Instead, the striker did what he does best — poach goals and show up in big moments. With Chelsea putting PSG on the back foot, the Swede poached and took advantage of a great set of passes from his teammates to put PSG up 2-1 on the night and 4-2 on aggregate.
