Chelsea vs PSG in the Champions League round of 16: the Blues respond

The Champions League round of 16 draw has delivered a blockbuster clash between PSG and Chelsea.

London club director of football operations David Barnard is expecting a tough two-legged encounter against the reigning European champions.

"We're up against a strong Paris side. We've faced them several times before, and every match has been tough for both teams. People often remind us of what happened this summer (the Blues' 3-0 win in the Club World Cup final), but that was a one-off match. This time, there will be a home and away leg, which changes everything. (...) I don't want to talk about revenge, but I'm sure the Parisians have it on their minds," the executive told Canal+.
