Chelsea were left with plenty of questions to answer following a record 8-2 aggregate defeat to holders Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last-16.

After losing the first-leg 5-2 in Paris last week, early goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Bradley Barcola effectively ending the tie as a contest as the French side cruised through.

A third PSG goal – courtesy of Senny Mayulu – confirmed the club’s joint-heaviest aggregate defeat in the Champions League, pilling further pressure on manager Liam Rosenior as the Blues battle for a potentially vital top-five finish.

And afterwards, key midfielder Enzo Fernandez hinted that he could seek a move away from Chelsea in the summer, telling ESPN Argentina: “I don’t know. There are eight games left [of the Premier League season] and the FA Cup. There’s the World Cup and then we’ll see.”

Rosenior, who also saw defender Trevor Chalobah stretchered off, responded to Fernandez’s comments by saying: “It's hard for me to speak on speculation after a game and I need to focus right now on the most important things, which is making sure we get a result against Everton on Saturday.”

'Hard for me to speak on speculation': Rosenior responds to Fernandez comments

Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior said it is “hard to speak on speculation” after Enzo Fernandez refused to commit his future to the Blues and hinted at seeking a move elsewhere after this summer’s World Cup.

“Firstly, I haven't seen that,” he said. “It's hard for me to speak on speculation after a game and I need to focus right now on the most important things, which is making sure we get a result against Everton on Saturday.”

Trevoh Chalobah suffers concerning ankle injury as Chelsea exit Champions League

Chelsea will wait on tests to assess the extent of the damage to key defender Trevoh Chalobah, after he was carried off the field on a stretcher at the end of the Blues’ 3-0 Champions League defeat by PSG on Tuesday evening.

The centre-back went down in clear discomfort in the final minutes of the match. The defender was carried off the pitch in apparent pain, and joins James and Gusto on the injury list, with what his manager Liam Rosenior suggested was sprained ankle ligaments.

Rosenior told TNT Sports: “I just asked the medical team, he's got a high ankle sprain, so I'm praying it's nothing too serious because of the way Trevoh's been performing and we can't afford to lose another defender at this moment."

Joe Cole questions ‘strategy and direction’ at Chelsea after humbling 8-2 defeat to PSG

Former Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole has questioned the direction of the club and the strategy of the current ownership after the Blues crashed out of the Champions League with an embarrassing 8-2 defeat at the hands of PSG.

Liam Rosenior’s side had high hopes for a comeback after last week’s 5-2 loss in Paris but they found themselves behind after less than six minutes as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia pounced on a mistake from Mamadou Sarr to poke past Rob Sanchez.

And while the tie was already effectively over, Bradley Barcola added a second around 15 minutes in before a Senny Mayulu goal in the second half was the final blow in a 3-0 loss on a chastening night for the hosts.

Chelsea knocked out of Champions League after second-leg defeat to holders PSG

Chelsea’s interest in the Champions League came to a sobering end as Paris St Germain won 3-0 at Stamford Bridge to dump the Blues out 8-2 on aggregate in the last 16.

It was a merciless display of clinical finishing from the holders as they built on last week’s pummelling in the Parc des Princes to send the home side to their joint-heaviest aggregate defeat in Europe.

As in the first leg, Liam Rosenior’s side were undone by their own careless mistakes and a moment of breathtaking PSG quality.
