For the third consecutive season, either Chelsea’s or Paris Saint-Germain’s UEFA Champions League campaign will continue at the other’s expense.
Chelsea hosts PSG on Wednesday at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of their Champions League Round of 16 series. PSG on Feb. 16 won the first leg 2-1, but the French club knows how easily that advantage can evaporate.
John Terry hasn’t recovered from a hamstring injury in time to marshal Chelsea’s defense against PSG.
PSG coach Laurent Blanc rested many of his regular starters in last weekend’s Ligue 1 (French first division) game against Montpellier, so the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and David Luiz should be fresh for the Chelsea test.
Chelsea knocked PSG out of the Champions League knockout stages in 2013-14, but PSG earned revenge last year. A new chapter in the European rivalry between the teams will be published in a matter of hours.
