Chelsea face an uphill task after a difficult night and a 3-1 defeat in Paris, although the potential absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic through injury might prove to be a deciding factor.

Chelsea were behind within 2 minutes as Ezequiel Lavezzi scored with a beautifully controlled movement that saw him take down a high ball on his chest before finishing expertly from 12 yards.

Eden Hazard levelled it for Chelsea with a penalty, and a vital away goal, but the hosts were soon back in front as David Luiz put the ball into his own net.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic left the field midway through the second half, with an apparent hamstring injury but his absence did not prove a boost to Chelsea. Rather, PSG were 3-1 up by the time of the final whistle, with Javier Pastore slaloming along the Chelsea end line, bobbing between defenders before threading the ball in at Petr Cech’s near post. It was an embarrassing end to a difficult for Mourinho’s men and know they will need to be much improved when the French champions come to London.
