Against the run of play, but you were right.

How unlikely. Terry cross, Cahill flick, Ivanovic finish.

PSG must be stunned emotionally and mentally on their home ground heading into halftime.

PSG are wasting Cavani and Lavezzi the way they have them playing

What a typical Chelsea goal in a game like this Lol.

All the defenders made that happen, wow.

De Gea is literally Man United. He carries them.

I agree

 

[goncalves29]

This game is over to psg. But i would blame David Luiz on that goal totally unaware of Ivanović

 

[champcruthik]

Courtois is literally chelsea.

I second-guessed his place in the starting XI after Cech's performance against Everton. Reason I'm not in Jose Mourinho's shoes.

PSG are wasting Cavani the way they have them playing

Meaning he should be playing more centrally?

All the defenders made that happen, wow.

Meanwhile Azpilicueta getting scorched by van der Wiel regularly in the first-half.

Bayern only playing with one CB tonight!???

1-6-3?

David Luiz is Terry Cloth the way he just let fabregas push him over....

Courtois is literally chelsea. He carries them.

What? He's a good keeper but give our other players some credit. Our defense carries us

Champions League: PSG vs. Chelsea

First-Half Thoughts
Blaise Matuidi has been PSG's most influential player offensively. Put in two good crosses with his left foot to Ibrahimovic. Also had the best goal-scoring opportunity of the match for Blanc's side, header with pace but lacked placement.

Gregory van der Wiel is getting behind Azpilicueta far too easily. First opportunity, put the cross wide behind the byline. Second chance, had Ibra and Cavani far post yet picked out the wrong ball.

Verratti lacks discipline in moments. Giving away cheap fouls in dangerous positions. Allowed for the Fabregas FK, which he whipped into Sirigu's box, Chelsea's most threatening attempt prior to the Ivanovic goal.

Speaking of Ivanovic, how unlikely for Mourinho's side. Terry cross, Cahill flick, and Ivanovic finish. Exactly how the manager drew up. Yeah, right.

Cavani did well to track back on Willian, the one time in the first-half he was asked to defend.

Courtois proving he was the right choice in net in Chelsea's starting XI, even after Cech's heroics against Everton and Lukaku twice. Mourinho got it right.

 

[goncalves29]

Luiz is grossly overrated. A lot of brazilians hate to admit it I for one cannot stand him.

Ayi yi yi, statements like this lol smh

What's wrong with the statement?

 

[eiddyfouw]

He ain't wasting those chances anymore...

 

[Sinner]

Cavani!  Game on!

 

[bronconation24]

Edison!!!

 

[dlo13]

That was coming. Can't allow that damn many free headers.

 

[User 37837]

Got caught sleeping

Ayi yi yi, statements like this lol smh

What's wrong with the statement?

Chelsea are much more than Courtois. MUCH more. He's an integral piece of the puzzle but he doesn't carry them.

 

[Thierry Henry]

Bayern-Shakhtar is a snooze fest

 

[goncalves29]

i think Jose will be happy with a draw. It will be interesting if Chelsea go for the win tonight

 

[champcruthik]

That's the danger ball for PSG. Matuidi charging forward on Ivanovic's side. Twice in the first-half, he found Ibra. The first opportunity being the more dangerous chance. Third time's the charm, free header for Cavani. Courtois left helpless.

 

[bronconation24]

Psg needs one more. Who knows what will happen at Stamford bridge
