Chelsea vs PSG: TV Channel, Kick-Off Time and How to Watch Champions League Clash
Everything you need to know as Chelsea host PSG in the crucial second leg of their last-16 tie in the Champions League. A late collapse at the Parc des Princes saw the Blues ship three goals in the final 16 minutes, leaving them with a significant deficit to overcome.
Match Details and Viewing Information
Chelsea face an uphill struggle in their fight to progress to the Champions League quarter-finals, with a three-goal deficit to overcome against reigning champions PSG. Liam Rosenior’s side acquitted themselves well for large periods of the first leg before a late collapse saw them concede three goals in 16 minutes at the Parc des Princes.
In a week where goalkeeping errors were in the spotlight, Filip Jorgensen, drafted in for Robert Sanchez, made a major mistake for PSG’s third goal, with two more goals in quick succession leaving Chelsea with a mountain to climb at Stamford Bridge.
Since last week’s first leg, Chelsea lost 1-0 to Newcastle – their first defeat to the Magpies at home in 14 years – and were engulfed in a bizarre debate over pre-match huddles. Meanwhile, PSG are well rested after Sunday’s Ligue 1 match against Nantes was postponed.

Team News and Predicted Line-ups
Pedro Neto has been spared a one-match ban for shoving a PSG ball boy in last week’s leg, in a let-off from Uefa. However, the Blues will be without Reece James for a number of weeks due to a fresh hamstring problem.
Rosenior faces a dilemma in goal, with Jorgensen a doubt due to a groin issue, but his rival for the No 1 spot, Robert Sanchez, is similarly prone to errors. PSG are without Fabian Ruiz due to a knee injury and winger Quentin Ndjantou.
Predicted Line-ups:
- Chelsea XI: Sanchez, Gusto, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella, Santos, Caicedo, Palmer, Fernandez, Neto, Pedro
- PSG XI: Safonov, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes, Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Neves, Kvaratskhelia, Dembele, Barcola
