The Blues suffered a 5-2 defeat against PSG in the first leg of their last 16 tie, having conceded three goals in the last 15 minutes.

Chelsea now need a miracle at Stamford Bridge to over turn a three goal deficit and advance to the quarter finals.

Liam Rosenior on Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen

Once again questions are being asked about the goalkeeper situation after Jorgensen made a huge error, which put Chelsea 3-2 down.

Rosenior has taken the decision to make the Dane the new number one, despite Sanchez impressing for large parts of the season.

Jamie Carragher feels Chelsea won’t make any progress until they address the issue, but Rosenior has insisted both keepers are good enough to compete in the Champions League.

“Yeah, both of them,” he told his post match press conference.

“They have different qualities. Rob is outstanding from crosses, an outstanding shot-stopper. I am trying to win in the short term and win in the long term as well.

“Filip has different qualities and one of his qualities, which he showed against Aston Villa, one of the reasons we won 4-1 at Aston Villa, we were so calm in our possession moments, which we weren’t before, not just on Rob but on the whole team.”

Chelsea boss bemoans Jorgensen error

The Blues were well in the game at 2-2 with 15 minutes remaining, and Rosenior has bemoaned the error which put the Blues 3-2 down.

“Coming here against a really high-pressing team, if you stay calm and play through the initial pressure, you can cause a lot of problems, which we did,” he added.
