PSG thrash Chelsea 8-2 on aggregate to reach Champions League quarter-finals

Paris Saint-Germain defeated Chelsea FC 3-0 at Stamford Bridge, sealing an emphatic 8-2 aggregate win in their Champions League last-16 tie.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened scoring in the sixth minute after a defensive error, putting the visitors in early control of the encounter.

Bradley Barcola doubled the lead in the 14th minute with a superb half-volley following a midfield turnover.

Substitute Senny Mayulu added a third goal late on in the 62nd minute, compounding Chelsea’s misery in the one-sided contest.

Chelsea created chances through Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernández and others but failed to convert their opportunities.

PSG remained dangerous on the break, with Kvaratskhelia and Barcola repeatedly troubling the Chelsea defence throughout the match.

Home supporters expressed frustration, directing chants at former owner Roman Abramovich and the current club hierarchy.

Head coach Liam Rosenior acknowledged fans’ disappointment, noting the heavy aggregate defeat was difficult to accept.

Chelsea’s problems worsened late on as Trevoh Chalobah was stretchered off with an ankle injury, reducing the team to 10 men.

PSG will face the winner between Liverpool FC and Galatasaray SK in the quarter-finals.
