Rio Ferdinand has criticised Chelsea's John Obi Mikel for his feeble defending for PSG's first goal in their Champions League first leg tie in Paris.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic opened the scoring in the Parc des Princes after his deflected free kick slipped past the flailing Thibalt Courtois.
Obi Mikel was culpable for the award of the free kick after he tripped up Lucas Moura and the Nigerian did little to redeem himself when he turned his back on Zlatan Ibrahimovic's effort.

Speaking at half time on BT Sport, Rio Ferdinand could not hide his indignation at Mikel's role in the goal.
"In the changing rooms I'm sure they're saying 'what are you doing?"
"If you're not going to have the balls to stand there then don't be in the wall."
@rioferdy5 That pause after the 'expletive'... Sensational. http://pic.twitter.com/CFOxYUDjxc

One disgruntled Chelsea fan was quick to respond to Ferdinand's criticism of Mikel by locating a photo from the archive of the former Manchester United defender clearly turning his back in a wall in a very similar fashion to Mikel.

Obi Mikel made up for his error in almost instaneous fashion when he equalised for the away side following a goal-mouth scramble in the PSG penalty area.
The 28-year-old has enjoyed a welcome return to the Chelsea starting line-up since Guus Hiddink replaced Jose Mourinho as manager.
