Champions League: Ferdinand blasts Mikel for PSG opener

Hovering in the bottom half of the Premier League is bad enough but a 2-1 defeat at Paris St Germain on Tuesday has left Chelsea in danger of going out of the Champions League at the last 16 stage – with the second leg to come on March 9. Considering some of the sides they could have faced in the last-16, the Portuguese side have been given a somewhat favourable draw although the Russian side are certainly no pushovers, and they did run out winners both times these two clubs met in the group stage of last season’s competition – keeping clean sheets in each meeting. A 2-1 win at home is a precarious lead Zlatan Ibrahi movic waved his hands in the air. Unfortunately, Zouma’s cruciate knee ligament injury means the partnership may never be seen again with skipper Terry set to leave the club at the end of the season.

Here are the TV channels, times, dates and live stream information you need to enjoy the latest Champions League action.

“However, should they really be that scared of Zlatan Ibrahimovic?”. We deserved more. Hopefully the away goal keeps us alive in the tie, and we believe w can do it. We can get a very good result at home which can see us through.

They have yet to conquer Europe, however, with one reason put forward being the difficulty in raising their performance levels from Ligue 1 to the Champions League. “Let’s see with John [if he’s fit] but I’ve played with Iva in big games before, so I don’t see it being a problem”.

Chelsea’s away goal might have come sooner only for a Diego Costa header to be well saved by goalkeeper Kevin Trapp. Angel Di Maria, definitely the best player of the match, placed a fantastic pass over the defense towards the PSG striker and he totally utilized the pass by sending into the net with clinical finish. They are a team in red-hot form right now and Real Madrid were one of only two teams to avoid defeat at the Parc des Princes this season.

The Dutchman, who is unbeaten in 11 games of his second spell as Chelsea caretaker boss, added: “It was not a surprise to the players that we had to make some changes. We had Iva to play centre-back and Gaz [Cahill], who has not been playing for a while, and they did fantastically well”. We kept calm and things went pretty well.
