PSG’s Blanc regrets conceding goal at home

Without injured centre-backs Kurt Zouma and John Terry Hiddink moved Branislav Ivanovic into the heart of the defence alongside Gary Cahill.

Mikel is one of Nigeria’s most decorated players with one UCL medal, two English Premier League medals, four English FA Cup medals, two League Cup golds, one Europa Cup gold and one Community Shield gold medal. Tonight we played our football. A missed chance early from Diego Costa and another one late from Pedro still see the Blues depart the Parc des Princes with life ahead of the second leg on March 9.

The midfielder deflected Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s strike from the resultant free-kick for PSG’s first goal.

Chris Waddle has defended Eden Hazard after the Chelsea forward’s subdued performance in a 2-1 loss at Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night.

“We will have to be careful, though, because Chelsea got an away goal”. Ballack says @ChelseaFC shouldn’t be disappointed despite their 2-1 defeat.

“I think it’s 50-50 still”. The ball is running away from goal.

“I think we played well and I think if we play like that again in London, we will have a good chance of going through. I am never happy with a loss but it’s not a dramatic loss”.

“The players did well, and not just the four defenders”.

“It was a great game. We showed our style of playing”. They’re a fantastic team and that was very, very tough.

“First goal, big deflection from me”. “I do not know what is going on in Ibra’s head nor do I know what is going on in the head of the president”.

“But we came back strong as well, but we’re very disappointed to have lost the game”.

In the end they scored what could be a massive goal for them, but we will keep fighting and do everything we can to try to go through.

“We have to call the keeper’s decision-making into question”, Ferdinand said during his punditry duties for BT Sport. We reflect on that, and on the very good tactical, defensive organisation.

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made a number of fine saves before being beaten by Cavani and PSG may rue not adding to their tally. We want to win every game.

“We played really well”, Matuidi told the club’s official website. I repeat we could have been more lethal on the counter.
