Chelsea v PSG: Familiar foes meet in the Champions League again

Chelsea have been drawn against PSG in the knockout stages of the Champions League for a third year in a row.

Jose Mourinho's men will know their last-16 opponents well, after facing them at the same stage in 2014/15 and knocking them out in their quarter-final tie the season before.

Here, we take a look back at those meetings…

2014/15 - Chelsea 3-3 PSG - PSG win on away goals after extra-time

Chelsea had their backs to the wall for much of the first leg in Paris, clinging onto Branislav Ivanovic's opener. Edinson Cavani eventually nodded home a deserved second-half response for the hosts to set up an intriguing second leg at Stamford Bridge.

The tie appeared to swing massively in Chelsea's favour when Zlatan Ibrahimovic was harshly sent off just 30 minutes into the second leg - and when Gary Cahill fired in with 10 minutes to play, it looked like the Blues would emerge victorious from a scrappy affair.

However, Chelsea old boy David Luiz powered home a header five minutes later to take the tie to extra-time. Yet again Chelsea went ahead - thanks to a foolish handball from Thiago Silva which allowed Eden Hazard to score from the spot. But PSG - who played 90 minutes with a man less than their hosts - weren't to be denied and Silva atoned for his error by converting a superb header to send the French side through to the quarter-finals.

2013/14 - Chelsea 3-3 PSG - Chelsea win on away goals

PSG's 2014/15 success saw them claim revenge for defeat in the quarter-finals 12 months earlier.

Chelsea seemed set for a Champions League exit when they lost the first leg 3-1 in Paris. The hosts were later shorn of injured Ibrahimovic but Ezequiel Lavezzi fired them ahead with a smart half-volley just three minutes in. A Hazard penalty levelled the scores but a David Luiz own goal, followed by Javier Pastore's mazy run and finish in injury time gave the Blues a mountain to climb.

In the second leg, Andre Schurrle gave the Stamford Bridge faithful hope, volleying home a first-half strike but with three minutes to play it was PSG seemingly bound for the semi-finals. Chelsea had twice hit the woodwork through Schurrle and Oscar but could find no way through… until Demba Ba bundled home an 87th-minute winner.

The goal sparked Mourinho into wild celebration, storming down the touchline to join his players, reminiscent of his reaction to Porto's winner against Manchester United in 2004.

The drama wasn't over - Marquinhos would have sent PSG through if it wasn't for a superb injury-time stop from Petr Cech - but Chelsea held on to set up their third final-four appearance in the competition under Mourinho.
