Chelsea's Champions League hopes were ended by Paris St-Germain at the last-16 stage once more as Zlatan Ibrahimovic inspired the French champions to victory at Stamford Bridge.
PSG built on their 2-1 lead from the first leg when Ibrahimovic crossed perfectly for Adrien Rabiot to score from close range after 16 minutes.
Diego Costa's smart finish put Chelsea level on the night before half-time, but his departure through injury on the hour and Ibrahimovic's simple finish from Angel di Maria's delivery seven minutes later sent PSG into the last eight.
The visitors, who knocked Chelsea out on away goals at this stage last season, ended the night in total control.
Chelsea - 10th in the Premier League - now face the prospect of being without European football next season, with Costa and Eden Hazard limping off injured before Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final at Everton.
