Spectacle and goals in the match held in France between Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea. The European champions win convincingly 5-2 and take a big step towards the quarter-finals.
PSG took the lead in the 10th minute with Barcola, after an assist from Neves, but Chelsea reacted very quickly, equalizing in the 28th with Gusto, served by Enzo Fernández. But before the break, Dembélé restored the lead for the French with a quick counterattack, ending the first half at 2-1.
In the second half, the Londoners tied the score again with Enzo Fernández for 2-2, but the last quarter decided everything. Kvaratskhelia, brought in from the bench, changed the pace of the game: first he assisted Vitinha for the 3-2 goal, then scored himself for 4-2. In extra time, the Georgian sealed the victory with the fifth goal, being the absolute protagonist at the end of the match, thanks to an extraordinary performance.
At the end of the Spanish technical meeting, Luis Enrique appeared happy for the victory, as he expressed his ambition to seek victory again next week in London: "What an atmosphere, it was incredible! The fans were extraordinary. This is also a victory for our players, because even though we were not as accurate as we would have liked, we showed that we are fighters and have a strong mentality. We are a resilient team and we show this all the time.
We know very well that Chelsea is a very high-level team, which is why they won so much last season. As for the return match, I am convinced that it will be another difficult and hard-fought match, just like today. But we will not go to London to defend the result. Our mentality is to attack and try to win that match too, said the PSG coach.
