5 players who have scored against former clubs in the UEFA Champions League

Chelsea v Paris Saint-Germain - UEFA Champions League Round of 16 — Luiz celebrates scoring against Chelsea in the Round of 16 fixture between PSG and Chelsea

We all know how much David Luiz loves scoring goals, and what usually follows these goals are crazy celebrations by the Brazilian.

Luiz became the hero for the Parisians and the villain in the eyes of the Stamford Bridge faithful, when he scored the equalising goal against his former club in their 2014-15 Champions League round of 16 fixture.

It was a crucial strike, which eventually helped PSG win on away goals. But it was his passionate celebrations after scoring the goal which remain fresh in everyone's memory.

Scoring a goal against your former club can be very emotional, but celebrating wildly, rather than showing respect in front of the home fans who loved him during his spell at the club, was a bit too much.
