PSG/Chelsea – Rosenior speaks out, eyes qualification hope | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea faced off this Wednesday at Parc des Princes as part of the first leg of the Round of 16 of the 2025-2026 Champions League (return leg on March 17). The match ended with a Parisian victory 5-2 (PSG/Chelsea video summary). After the match, the coach of the English team, Liam Rosenior, spoke to TNT Sports.

Rosenior: "It makes everything very difficult, but not impossible."

After 70 minutes, it was 2-2. What happened next?

We made a mistake on the 3rd goal and reacted poorly to the disappointment. We were close, then there was Kvaratskhelia's incredible goal. That happens at this level, even though we weren't far from 3-3. But the 5th goal, we didn't keep our calm, our concentration. It makes everything very difficult, but not impossible.

Did the risks hurt?

Risks are part of the game, we take them to play a certain way. They allowed us to have good moments, good play, opportunities. They didn't have many chances, but they scored 5 goals. It's hard to swallow. We now have to recover and be ready for Newcastle, then PSG.

Rosenior: "Don't forget the good things during 70 minutes because of 15-20 minutes of madness."

Has Jorgensen lost confidence?

It's my responsibility. We lose confidence with mistakes, it's normal. But we have a great group. Mistakes happen, but they shouldn't happen twice. We were punished by a very good team.

Is it possible to qualify in the return leg?

You've seen it happen before. We don't give up. We need to have an excellent plan to come back. There's disappointment, but we mustn't forget the good things during 70 minutes because of 15-20 minutes of madness.
