Chelsea blown away by PSG to exit Champions League
Chelsea suffered a 3-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge against Paris St-Germain (PSG), resulting in an 8-2 aggregate loss and elimination from the Champions League. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring for PSG in the 6th minute, followed by Bradley Barcola in the 14th minute, and Senny Mayulu later added a third. The match also saw home supporters chanting for former owner Roman Abramovich, despite the Premier League issuing a record £10.75m fine for more than £47m of undeclared payments to agents.
The goals came after defensive errors, including hesitant defending from Mamadou Sarr on the first goal and Moises Caicedo losing possession leading to the second. Chelsea created chances through Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez, Pedro Neto, and Trevoh Chalobah, but failed to convert them. Head coach Liam Rosenior substituted Sarr with Josh Acheampong at halftime.
In the second half, Rosenior substituted Palmer, Fernandez, and Joao Pedro after the 56th minute. Mayulu's goal in the second half sealed the victory for PSG. The match concluded with Chalobah being stretchered off, leaving Chelsea with 10 men.
Chelsea's performance was marred by individual errors and a lack of consistency, despite moments of brilliance. Rosenior's selection choices, including starting a fatigued Palmer, Caicedo, and Neto, were questioned, especially after a 1-0 loss against Newcastle on Saturday. The team's inexperience in the competition was also highlighted, with 10 players making their Champions League debut this season.
