If knocking them out of the Champions League wasn’t enough, Paris Saint- Germain are continuing to rile Chelsea supporters as the French club’s social media onslaught shows no sign of abating.
For the second consecutive season the Blues were left licking their wounds after being dumped out of the Champions League at the last-16 stage by the French champions.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored the winning goal as PSG won 2-1 at Stamford Bridge to inflict a 4-2 aggregate win over Guus Hiddink’s side.
But rather than act graciously in victory – as you would reasonably expect of a top-level club – PSG’s social media department seem intent in rubbing it in.
On Thursday morning they took to Twitter and Instagram and posted the message ‘Oops… we did it again’ upon the backdrop of the PSG players celebrating.
The jibe is in reference to last season’s round of 16 tie when PSG knocked out the Premier League champions on away goals after a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge in the second leg.
Chelsea supporters will be sick of the sight of PSG by now and will be frantically hitting the block button on Twitter if they haven’t already – the Ligue 1 side have previous.
During the build-up to Wednesday’s second leg, PSG’s Twitter account got under supporters’ skin when they described Chelsea striker Diego Costa as a fraud.
They proceeded to then mock a series of movie posters with PSG players’ faces super-imposed on to them and changed the film title to relate to the players.
Ibrahimovic was mocked up as the ‘Parisian Sniper’ – a play on the movie American Sniper – and described the striker as the ‘most lethal scorer in Parisian history’.
In a separate mock-up PSG playmaker Marco Verratti, who missed the second leg through injury, appeared on the poster for the film ‘The Artist’.
Ahead of the sides’ Champions League meeting in 2014, when Chelsea progressed on away goals, PSG tweeted: ‘Why would we fear the Special One (Jose Mourinho) when we have the Only One (Ibrahimovic).
