Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed their starting teams for their meeting at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the 2025/26 Champions League round of 16.
The Blues equalised twice in the first leg six days ago, only for Vitinha to restore the holders’ lead before two late Khvicha Kvaratskhelia goals gave PSG a 5-2 advantage.
The winners of the tie will meet Liverpool or Galatasaray in the quarter-finals in April. Those sides meet again at Anfield on Wednesday, when the Turkish team will begin 1-0 ahead.
