"Khvicha Kvaratskhelia stole the show off the bench at Parc des Princes, scoring twice and assisting another late on as Paris Saint-Germain's 5-2 win over Chelsea left them in control of their Champions League last-16 tie. Liam Rosenior's side will have to overturn a three-goal deficit in Tuesday's return meeting at Stamford Bridge."
"A needless Jorgensen error then handed possession to Kvaratskhelia via Barcola's interception, with Vitinha on hand to coolly lob the stranded Chelsea goalkeeper in the 74th minute. Kvaratskhelia first danced inside and hammered into the top-right corner, and then swept home Achraf Hakimi's cutback in stoppage time to seal the victory."
"Bradley Barcola thumped a half-volley into the roof of the net from near the penalty spot after Joao Neves nodded down Ousmane Dembele's cross. PSG then raced away on the counter-attack as Desire Doue released Dembele to fire into the bottom-left corner after beating Wesley Fofana."
Paris Saint-Germain secured a dominant 5-2 victory over Chelsea in the Champions League last-16 first leg at Parc des Princes. Bradley Barcola opened the scoring early, followed by Ousmane Dembele extending the lead. Chelsea responded twice through Malo Gusto and Enzo Fernandez to level at 2-2, but PSG pulled away decisively. Substitute Khvicha Kvaratskhelia proved decisive, scoring twice and assisting another goal to seal the win. The three-goal advantage leaves Chelsea facing an uphill task in the return fixture at Stamford Bridge, where they must overturn the deficit under manager Liam Rosenior.
