Chelsea host PSG tonight. Follow the action from Stamford Bridge with our live commentary…

Chelsea’s late capitulation in France means they require a miraculous comeback to see off PSG and advance to the Champions League quarter-finals.

The tie appeared beautifully poised with defending champions PSG leading 3-2 with four minutes to go at the Parc des Princes. But two goals from winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia put the Ligue 1 side in firm control ahead of the return game at Stamford Bridge.

PSG had the weekend off to prepare while Chelsea were poor in losing 1-0 at home to Newcastle.

The Blues’ recent form has not been good and boss Liam Rosenior knows an exit here would not be viewed favourably by the club’s owners.

Stats for Chelsea v Paris Saint-Germain

  • Chelsea are winless in their last five Champions League games against PSG (D2 L3); their joint-longest winless run against an opponent in the competition (also 5 v Bayern Munich – April 2005 to September 2025).
  • PSG are unbeaten in their last five games against English teams in the Champions League (W4 D1), and could go six in a row without defeat against them in the competition for the first time here.
  • The holders are looking to progress from their fourth consecutive Champions League knockout stage tie against English opponents (previously v Liverpool, Aston Villa & Arsenal last season). Prior to last season, the Parisians had only progressed from two of their six knockout stage ties against English sides in the competition.
  • Chelsea hold a three-goal deficit in this tie. Only one team in Champions League history has gone on to eliminate the holders in the knockout stages after losing the first leg by as many as three goals: Deportivo de La Coruña versus Milan in the 2003-04 quarter-finals (lost 1-4 away, won 4-0 at home).
  • The Blues have lost their last three games in the knockout stages of the Champions League, and have never previously lost four in a row. They conceded five goals in the first leg of this tie, already just two short of the most goals they have conceded in a two-legged knockout stage tie in the competition (7 v Bayern Munich in 2019-20, round of 16).
  • PSG have won 66.7 per cent of their Champions League knockout stage games under Luis Enrique (12/18). Of managers with 15+ KO stage matches with a team in the competition, this is the joint-highest win percentage by any team/coach duo, along with Barcelona under Luis Enrique (66.7% – 10/15).
  • Luis Enrique’s side have had more different goalscorers (excl. own goals) than any other team in the Champions League this season (13) – this is now their most different scorers in a single edition, overtaking the 12 from last season when they lifted the trophy.
