"PSG's position in this tie already looked fairly strong, but Luis Enrique warned against complacency in his press conference, and they heeded that. Kvaratskhelia scored the earliest goal Chelsea have conceded at home in a Champions League knockout game, while he has now been directly involved in 16 goals in his last 19 games in the competition for PSG (10 goals, six assists)."
"Chelsea were carved open by a long punt from Matvey Safonov, and Kvaratskhelia held off Mamadou Sarr long enough to bend an effort past Robert Sanchez just six minutes in. And just eight minutes later, PSG doubled their lead; after stealing the ball in midfield, Achraf Hakimi pulled it back to Bradley Barcola, who picked out the top-left corner with a stunning volley."
PSG advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals by defeating Chelsea 3-0 in the second leg, securing an 8-2 aggregate victory. Building on their 5-2 first-leg advantage, PSG quickly ended Chelsea's comeback hopes with goals from Kvaratskhelia in the sixth minute and Bradley Barcola in the fourteenth minute. Kvaratskhelia had a second goal disallowed for offside. Chelsea created opportunities throughout the match, with goalkeeper Matvey Safonov making several crucial saves to deny Joao Pedro, Moises Caicedo, and Alejandro Garnacho. Senny Mayulu sealed the victory in the 62nd minute. Kvaratskhelia scored the earliest goal Chelsea have conceded at home in a Champions League knockout game and has been directly involved in 16 goals across his last 19 competition matches for PSG.
