Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho believes that former defender David Luiz should be banned for elbowing Diego Costa during Wednesday night’s Champions League last-16 tie.

Paris Saint Germain won the game due to the away goal rule after a 3-3 aggregate draw.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was dismissed in the first half after a reckless challenge on Oscar, leading to a number of on-field altercations and Mourinho believes that the referee did very little to punish Luiz for an apparent elbow on Chelsea forward Costa.

“The David [Luiz] elbow I didn’t see, but when UEFA gives him the man of the match I have to believe there is no elbow,” he told reporters.

“He played very very well and I have to believe no elbow because I can’t believe that UEFA gives the man of the match to someone that made an aggression.

“So maybe because they cannot give us the penalty now, they can do what is fair from the disciplinary point of view and suspend David and let Ibra play the quarter-finals, because he deserves it.”
