Chelsea saw off Paris St Germain in last season’s Champions League and while those heroes have moved on there is every reason to be confident in this Jose Mourinho team, writes Adam Bate…
The visit of Paris St Germain to Stamford Bridge will bring back fond memories for Chelsea supporters even though the identity of the pivotal figures in that game mean it will be a very different affair from the one that saw the Blues claw back a two-goal deficit in last season’s quarter-final.
David Luiz was in Chelsea blue when the teams met in April and it was his touch that found Andre Schurrle for the opening goal of the night as Jose Mourinho’s men looked to make amends for their 3-1 first-leg defeat in Paris. PSG retained their lead until the final few moments but it was Demba Ba who was the hero, bundling the ball home from close range to cap a noisy night at the Bridge.
