Chelsea set unwanted Champions League record as Senny Mayulu seals PSG rout | OneFootball

Chelsea were beaten 3-0 by Paris Saint-Germain at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday evening, crashing out of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 with an 8-2 aggregate defeat.

The visitors opened the scoring in the sixth minute. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia controlled a long pass, held off Mamadou Sarr and curled past Robert Sanchez.

Kvaratskhelia has now scored 12 goals in the Champions League, becoming the first Georgian to reach double figures in the competition.

Bradley Barcola doubled PSG’s lead in the 15th minute, curling a brilliant strike into the top left corner.

Chelsea’s first genuine attempt came through Joao Pedro in the 36th minute, forcing Matvei Safonov to make a save.

The PSG goalkeeper made two brilliant saves to preserve the visitors’ lead before halftime, keeping out Cole Palmer’s shot and Jorrel Hato’s header.

The first shot on target after the break saw Safonov make a good stop to deny substitute Liam Delap from Pedro Neto’s cross.

Senny Mayulu then made it 3-0 in the 62nd minute, rifling an unstoppable shot past Sanchez, who was rooted to the spot.

Chelsea have now conceded eight goals across a domestic or European two-legged tie for the first time in their history.

Alejandro Garnacho came close to pulling one back for the Blues late on with a low shot but his effort was repelled by Safonov.

PSG will face the winner of the tie between Liverpool and Galatasaray in the quarter-finals.
