Paris Saint-Germain and Premier League leaders Chelsea started their Round of 16 pairing with a draw that seems to benefit Jose Mourinho's side. The Blues went ahead thanks to Branislav Ivanovic's header, but Les Parisiens fought back to draw the match thanks to Edinson Cavani's header. While both teams had their chance to take the win home, keepers Salvatore Sirigu and especially Thibaut Courtois performed correctly to keep the match level.
Ivanovic's goal was his 30th playing for Chelsea, in all competitions. Curiously enough, Chelsea's goal was built by three of their defenders, with John Terry sending the ball into the box for Gary Cahill's back heel flick. The latter provided a wonderful assist for the Serbian defender.
After all the hype in the build-up for this match regarding David Luiz, the Brazilian defender became one of the main characters in this game. Displaying great football skills to deny Diego Costa of any chances to hurt his crew, the former Chelsea defender was the talk of the game after a curious incident regarding the spray used by the ref to indicate where free kicks should be taken. David Luiz scooped the foam one yard to the left, so Zlatan Ibrahimovic could have a better chance of scoring.
This action was not overlooked by fans all over the world, who trolled and laughed at the player's cheating tactics.
The best part of that David Luiz Vine is that Zlatan needs someone to move the spot for him. One day, he’ll demand a golf-style caddy.

Sneaky from David Luiz - wiped away foam showing where free-kick should be taken from and re-smeared it a foot to the left.

Some fans have a different theory about what the center back wanted to do with the foam "I am overrated"
