Liam Rosenior admits Chelsea paid price for ‘crazy’ end to first leg at PSG

PSG took command of their Champions League last-16 first leg against Chelsea with a dominant 5-2 victory at the Parc des Princes.

The game was tight for more than an hour and Enzo Fernandez’s second-half equaliser made it 2-2 to put the Blues in a strong position.

But Filip Jorgensen, given the chance to start in goal, made a big mistake and was punished by Vitinha, before Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored two late goals to give PSG control of the tie.

A tie that had looked enthrallingly unpredictable, only for the first leg to be set by perhaps the most predictable development possible.

Liam Rosenior had replaced Robert Sanchez with Filip Jorgenson specifically for his footwork, and of course it was a bad goalkeeper pass that set up Vitinha for a decisive goal.

After that, Paris Saint-Germain took a step up – and then another two – and Chelsea didn’t go with them.

Federico Valverde caps superb night for Real Madrid’s understudies as Pep Guardiola gets it wrong

The report from the other big game of the day, as Real Madrid beat Man City in their first leg tie...

There are performances that are destined for a special place even in a history as rich as Real Madrid’s. Fede Valverde has achieved much in his time at the Bernabeu and may yet end this season lifting the Champions League trophy but this was his night, a seminal, spectacular performance.

Often Real’s deluxe odd-job man, Valverde took on the role of the superstar, glittering on a terrible night for Pep Guardiola.

No Kylian Mbappe, no Jude Bellingham, no Rodrgyo? No problem. Valverde more than compensated for the absence of Real’s injured attackers. He took on the mantle of the sidelined Rodrygo, often the tormentor of Manchester City.

Liam Rosenior takes blame for Jorgensen mistake as Chelsea suffer late collapse against PSG

Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior has taken the blame for his side’s defeat to PSG in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, explaining that he asked his team “to play a certain way” in Paris.

The Blues fell to a 5-2 loss to the Champions League holders at the Parc des Princes after a late collapse saw them concede three goals in 20 minutes, and it was a mistake from goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen that handed Vitinha PSG’s third goal.

The Blues ‘keeper tried to pass out from inside his own area but it was intercepted before Vitinha lobbed him to make it 3-2, and from there Chelsea conceded two more to leave themselves with a mountain to climb in next week’s second leg.
