Demba Ba's winning goal for Chelsea against Paris Saint-Germain last night has made him persona non grata with his own family, who all support the French champions.
The Senegalese struck Chelsea's second goal in the Champions League last night against PSG, earning a 2-0 win for the Blues in the second leg of their quarter-final tie and sending them through to the semi-finals on away goals.

"My little brother Amadi didn't want me to come home", Ba, who is from the French capital, explained to RMC.

"PSG, I look at them as a fan and as a supporter", he said in December 2012.
"I have never hidden my attraction to the club as a fan, that I have had since I was little."
