Beckham in Valencia as PSG secure 2-1 win

Paris Saint-Germain's new signing David Beckham witnessed his teammates move closer to the quarter-finals of the Champions League on Tuesday after a 2-1 win away to Valencia, but victory was marred by a red card for star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.


Paris St Germain conceded a late goal and had Zlatan Ibrahimovic sent off in added time in a 2-1 win at Valencia in their Champions League last-16 first leg at the Mestalla on Tuesday.

The Ligue 1 leaders looked to be strolling into the quarter-finals when they took the lead in the 10th minute through Ezequiel Lavezzi and his Argentina team mate Javier Pastore added a second goal two minutes before halftime.

Valencia improved after coach Ernesto Valverde made a couple of changes at the break and it was no more than they deserved when centre back Adil Rami surged into the area and volleyed home in the 90th minute.
