Kvaratskhelia double caps PSG rout as Chelsea collapse at Parc des Princes

— Match Report

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia came off the bench to score twice as Paris Saint-Germain took a commanding 5-2 first-leg lead over Chelsea in their Champions League last-16 tie at the Parc des Princes.

Chelsea had twice fought back to level a thrilling tie, but a costly error from goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen sparked a late collapse, leaving Liam Rosenior's side with a mountain to climb in next Tuesday's second leg at Stamford Bridge.

PSG, under pressure after a defeat at Monaco and an unconvincing start to 2026, struck inside 10 minutes. Ousmane Dembele's cross was nodded down by Joao Neves and Bradley Barcola — quizzed pre-match over his lack of Champions League goals — had time to take a touch before powering a shot through a crowd of bodies and inside the near post.
