Ruthless PSG sweep Chelsea aside to seal 8-2 aggregate Champions League rout

— Match Report

Chelsea suffered their joint-heaviest defeat in a two-legged European tie as Paris Saint-Germain completed an 8-2 aggregate victory with a 3-0 win at Stamford Bridge, securing a Champions League quarter-final place at the Blues' expense.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia struck inside six minutes and Bradley Barcola doubled the lead in the 14th minute, before substitute Senny Mayulu added a third to round off a comprehensive performance from the holders, who exacted revenge for last summer's Club World Cup final defeat to the same opponents.

Early errors gift PSG control

The contest was effectively over inside a quarter of an hour. After Joao Pedro conceded a cheap free-kick, goalkeeper Matvei Safonov hit a long ball that Mamadou Sarr, deployed out of position at right-back in the absences of Reece James and Malo Gusto, miscontrolled under pressure from Kvaratskhelia. The Georgian zoomed away and drove an unfussy left-footed finish across Robert Sanchez.
