Thiago Silva, one of the heroes of the match in London

1/8 finals. Playing in ten Paris Saint-Germain drew 2: 2 in London and Chelsea threw overboard. Bayern outstretched Shakhtar – 7: 0.
The Parisians have made things almost impossible. Who is supposed to be brought to the quarter-finals, when the half-hour controversially red card Zlatan Ibrahimović was punished? Who has not lost faith, when ten minutes before the end of Gary Cahill gave the hosts the lead and when Eden Hazard extra light inside the center of the goal from the penalty spot cannonball Salvatore Sirigu? And yet – despite adversity – champions of France did not give up, and for his ambition were awarded (including financially, the Cathar owners of each of the players promised 250 thousand. Euro bonus).
a long time it seemed that the main actor of the show at Stamford Bridge will Bjoern Kuipers. The Dutchman, who last season refereed the final of the Champions League on Wednesday night into making embarrassing mistakes. Ibrahimovic wrongly kicked off (late tackle Oscar leg, but the yellow card), a more dangerous foul on Thiago Silva Diego Costa spared no penalty for the hosts when Edinson Cavani overturned Costa. May believe in the words of Jose Mourinho, the PSG is the most aggressive opponent of what came to be measured Chelsea this season. Certainly the most valiant.
– We showed character, not promotion doubted for a moment – he told David Luiz happy. The Brazilian scored big return to London, he shot his head led to extra time. – I should not celebrate the goal, but the excitement prevailed – apologized. The work was completed by his compatriot Thiago Silva, several minutes after the criminal cause. And how can you not love football, who wrote another beautiful story? – I do not think we coped with the pressure. When not using the game in the superiority and lose two goals after shootout different, you do not deserve to be promoted – Mourinho said.
In Munich excitement ended after just three minutes when Oleksandr Kucher fouled Mario Goetzego and got a red card. The fastest in the history of the competition. Thomas Mueller probably made a penalty. Thus began the execution Shakhtar, Bayern had no mercy, did not allow rivals to give a single accurate shot, he used seven of 13 attempts. Before the break even hit Jerome Boateng, after the break – Franck Ribery, the second time Mueller, Holger Badstuber, Robert Lewandowski (took a long pass from Bastian Schweinsteiger and won the match with a goal), and finally Goetze. Pep Guardiola’s fears proved unfounded: the Shakhtar would be just a pawn in the game for the German championship.
Continued return matches next week. On Tuesday, AS Monaco FC – Arsenal and Atletico – Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday, Barcelona – Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund – Juventus Turin. Would be more like a match in London than in Munich.
