PSG boss Blanc hails tactical victory

PSG coach Lauren Blanc believes his tactics were the difference over the course of the two legs in his side's victory over Chelsea.

Laurent Blanc hailed Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League win over Chelsea as a tactical one after outplaying the English champions across two legs in Europe.

Adrien Rabiot and Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored either side of Diego Costa's first-half equalizer as PSG booked its spot in the quarterfinals via a 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.

The away win sealed a 4-2 aggregate win, and Blanc said the contest was played by two teams espousing completely different philosophies and was proud of his team's success.
