UK Back Pages: Zlatan Ibrahimovic Is Hailed for Knocking Chelsea Out of Europe

Chelsea will be happy not to see Zlatan Ibrahimovic again anytime soon.

The Swede again struck for PSG against Chelsea, now with two goals in the UEFA Champions League against them in a matter of weeks.

Unsurprisingly, Ibrahimovic is the talk of the press after his performance at Stamford Bridge that led to Chelsea again getting knocked out of the Champions League by the Parisian giants.

It's "Take Zlat" in the Daily Express, as Louis van Gaal hits back at claims that English football is fading as Manchester United and Liverpool are set to meet in the Europa League.

The Sun instead focuses on a semi-controversial shirt exchange between Eden Hazard and Angel Di Maria, with the two swapping tops at half-time to draw the ire of some Chelsea fans.

It also reports that Newcastle will target Rafa Benitez as Steve McClaren's replacement if they decide to sack the Englishman.

The Mirror reports that McClaren's future is indeed in doubt and hypes up the Europa League clash between the bitter English rivals.
