Gary Cahill's strike nine minutes from the end of normal time was cancelled out by Luiz, but the hosts went ahead for a second time through an Eden Hazard penalty early in extra-time.

PSG captain Thiago Silva, who conceded the spot-kick for handball, then netted with a header moments later to make it 2-2 on the night and send the visitors through.

Luiz left the Premier League leaders in the summer for £50m, becoming the world's most expensive defender.

The centre-half said: "It is amazing for everyone, amazing for Paris club, for Paris city. We did a great game, we tried to win the game. I am happy to be in the next round but we have a long way to go to win the Champions League. We have to keep our feet on the floor.

"My cycle finished in Chelsea, PSG gave me a great opportunity to continue my career. I was very happy at Chelsea. I respect everyone.

"Tonight was good for me to score. I said I wouldn't celebrate but my emotions I couldn't control. Thank you to Chelsea and sorry I celebrated because I was so emotional."
