David Luiz insists he did not elbow Chelsea striker Diego Costa, while Paris Saint-Germain teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic has launched another attack on the Premier League leaders.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho claimed Luiz, 27, should have been sent off for elbowing Costa, 26, during PSG's 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday -- a result which took the French side into the Champions League quarterfinals on away goals.
However, Luiz -- who left Chelsea for PSG last summer -- says he deserved to stay on the pitch and that it was in fact Costa who had used his elbow on him during the clash.
"Mourinho can say what he wants. Maybe he should talk about when Costa gave me an elbow in the diaphragm early on. I didn't elbow Costa. He's a very good friend and a fantastic guy," Luiz is quoted as saying by The Sun. "It's always a battle to play against him and I'm very happy for him."
Luiz was seen exchanging words with Mourinho following the 31st-minute red card for Ibrahimovic.
And the Brazil international has revealed he had been telling his former boss who would have the last laugh.
"When I was by the touchline I was speaking with him about the red card," he said. "I always believe in my team and I just said how much I trusted us to win the game. And I was right, we did win."
Luiz played a major role in Chelsea's exit, scoring an 86th-minute equaliser after which he was unable to control his emotions -- contrary to earlier promises he would not celebrate should he find the back of the net against his old side.
"Chelsea are normally strong at set pieces so you do not expect to score against them like that, but just because they conceded from corners, it does not mean they are not strong anymore," said Luiz, whose goal forced extra time before compatriot Thiago Silva struck in the additional period following Eden Hazard's penalty to take Laurent Blanc's men through.
"Chelsea are an amazing club, who gave me many things during my time in England. But now I am a Paris player and I am very happy to be here and into the next round of the Champions League. It was amazing, the spirit, the players gave everything. When we lost Ibra we said we had to keep it simple."
Ibrahimovic, 33, will have his case examined by UEFA next Thursday following his dismissal, which came following a challenge on Oscar.
The Sweden captain, who is likely to be given a one-game ban, initially called Chelsea's players "babies" for surrounding referee Bjorn Kuipers after the tackle, and he has since added to that criticism.
"It's ridiculous. The referee saw all their players jumping and waving. I was pissed off. I understood nothing -- I did not think it was true when I walked off the pitch," Ibrahimovic, who equalled Edgar Davids' Champions League record of four red cards, is quoted as saying in The Sun.
"I did not know what I minded most -- the referee or Chelsea players jumping around. If the referee gives a red card in one of these important matches, he must be 200 percent sure. He must know what he is doing and be in control."
