Paris Saint-Germain produced a top-class performance against Chelsea on Wednesday night.
That is the sentiment of Paul Scholes who felt Laurent Blanc's men were brilliant in progressing to the Champions League quarter-finals over Jose Mourinho's Blues.
?Scholes criticised Chelsea for being unable to make the most of having and extra man following Zlatan Ibrahimovic's questionable sending off in the 31st minute but praised PSG for putting in a stellar effort away from home on the biggest stage in European football.
?'Having been in Paris for the first leg I felt that PSG were a good side and should have won that match,' Scholes wrote in his column for the London Evening Standard.
?'I wrote in these pages then that they were likely to score in London. What I did not envisage was that they would be able to do so without Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
?'That said, getting through difficult two-leg ties despite adversity is what good sides do in the Champions League.
?'Even down to 10 men, PSG carried on creating chances, like the one in the second half that ended with Edinson Cavani hitting the post. That's what the top teams do, even away from home. Chelsea's failure to create chances in Paris, and then again this week, shows how far they have to go to be considered among the very best in Europe.'???
