VINE: Zlatan Ibrahimovic, of all people, sees red on the half hour mark against Chelsea

He was either going to score the winner or have an early shower wasn't he?

Well unfortunately for PSG, it was the latter for Zlatan Ibrahimovic after he was given his marching orders for a first-half tackle on Chelsea midfielder Oscar. The Brazilian came off worst when the pair challenged for a breaking ball and Ibrahimovic saw red for leaving the ground. While at first glance, we all considered it a certain sending-off, in slow motion it looked far more innocuous and those of us in the SportsJOE office returned to our seats shaking our heads. The reaction of the Chelsea players, who surrounded the referee, seemed to play a significant part in the official's decision to brandish red. And for once we feel sorry for ol' Ibra.
