Ibrahimovic reunion for Mourinho as Blues draw PSG

[BlueLion. 21,491]

José Mourinho will be reunited with one of the world's greatest strikers as his Chelsea side were drawn against Zlatan Ibrahimovic's Paris St-Germain.

The run-away leaders of Ligue Un will play the first leg at home on either April 1 or 2, before the return leg is held at Stamford Bridge a week later.

The tie sees Mourinho and Ibrahimovic reunited after their brief spell together in Italy as part of Mourinho's all-conquering Internazionale side.

The Blues progressed after seeing off Galatasaray 3-1 on aggregate, whilst PSG annihilated Bayer Leverkusen by a margin of 6-1 over two legs. Both teams lead their respective domestic divisions, yet whilst Chelsea's first-place position is precarious at best with Manchester City breathing heavily down their necks, PSG's lead over Monaco is seemingly unassailable.

Elsewhere, defending champions Bayern Munich were drawn against David Moyes' Manchester United. There is an all La Liga tie as Barcelona host Atletico de Madrid and Chelsea's on-loan shotstopper supreme Thibaut Courtois, whilst Real Madrid face Borussia Dortmund in a repeat of last season's thrilling semi-final clash.

The draw in full, with first legs played April 1/2, and the second legs on April 8/9:

Barcelona v Atletico Madrid

Real Madrid v Borussia Dortmund

Paris St-Germain v Chelsea

Manchester United v Bayern Munich

Either way our club was having some kind of story line with Mourinho. Ex players, ex clubs and bad blood the quarter finals was going to have one of these stories. Even if we got BVB they would be talking about how they snubbed out Lewandowski approach.
