"Chelsea will hope to repeat their emphatic Club World Cup final triumph over Paris Saint-Germain when the teams clash in the Champions League round-of-16 tonight. The Blues shocked the European champions 3-0 in New Jersey last summer, ending the Parisians' quest to hold both global and continental crowns."
"The architect of that win, Enzo Maresca, has since departed and been replaced by Liam Rosenior. Rosenior will pit his wits against Luis Enrique tonight with PSG not firing the way they did last season. They still top Ligue 1 but come into the game on the back of a 3-1 defeat at home to Monaco."
"In eight previous games against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, Chelsea have won just twice. Since that defeat, Chelsea have won all six of their Champions League games against French clubs."
Chelsea and PSG meet in the Champions League round-of-16 tonight at the Parc des Princes. Chelsea previously defeated PSG 3-0 in the Club World Cup final last summer under manager Enzo Maresca, who has since left the club. Liam Rosenior now leads Chelsea and faces Luis Enrique's PSG side. PSG currently top Ligue 1 but recently suffered a 3-1 home defeat to Monaco. Chelsea advanced past Wrexham in the FA Cup on Saturday after extra time. The match kicks off at 8pm and is available on TNT Sports and discovery+. Historically, Chelsea have won only twice in eight previous Champions League meetings with PSG.
