Blanc: We deserved to go through

It was a night of mixed fortunes for Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.

On the one hand his Paris Saint-Germain side eventually made it through to the quarter-finals after extra time of an unruly last-16 second leg contest against Chelsea.

On the other, Zlatan himself didn't actually feature for nigh-on 90 minutes of the tie having been sent-off rather harshly in the 31st minute for a fairly pedestrian tackle on Chelsea midfielder Oscar.

However, you'll no doubt be glad to know that at least one person profited from Zlatan's early red at Stamford Bridge, with Brooklyn Beckham - in attendance along with his dad and his brothers - bagging himself a cracking memento.

Beckham later shared a photo on Instagram of his keepsake and thanked Zlatan for bestowing him with his (briefly) match-worn shirt, shortly after the striker had received his marching orders.

Thanks @iamzlatanibrahimovic for the shirt. And well played
