Match Overview

Entering the second leg with a 5–2 advantage from the Parc des Princes, the defending champions effectively ended the tie as a contest within the opening 15 minutes. Despite Chelsea registering more shots (18 to PSG's 8) and higher possession in the first half, they were undone by defensive errors and PSG's clinical counter-attacking transitions.

Goal Timeline

• 6th Minute – Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (0–1): Following a blunder by Chelsea center-back Mamadou Sarr, who failed to deal with a routine long pass, Kvaratskhelia seized the ball and beat Robert Sánchez with a low shot.
• 14th Minute – Bradley Barcola (0–2): After Chelsea lost possession in midfield, PSG launched a swift counter-attack. Barcola collected a pass from Achraf Hakimi and arrowed a half-volley into the top corner from the edge of the box.
• 62nd Minute – Senny Mayulu (0–3): The 19-year-old substitute sealed the victory midway through the second half, curling a superb first-time finish into the top corner from the edge of the penalty area.

Key Statistics & Records

• Historic Defeat: This was the first time in Chelsea's 121-year history that they conceded eight goals in a two-legged European tie.
• Clinical PSG: While Chelsea had 9 shots on goal to PSG's 5, PSG's efficiency and defensive organization restricted the hosts to few clear-cut chances.
• Form: The win extended PSG's unbeaten run against English opposition to six games, their longest in competition history.

PSG now advances to the quarter-finals, where they are scheduled to face either Liverpool or Galatasaray.
