In a week where goalkeeper howlers were in the spotlight, Filip Jorgensen, drafted in instead of Robert Sanchez, made a big mistake for PSG’s third, with two more goals in quick succession leaving the Blues with a mountain to climb at Stamford Bridge.
Since last week’s first leg, Chelsea lost 1-0 to Newcastle – their first defeat to the Magpies at home in 14 years – and became embroiled in a bizarre debate over pre-match meetings, while PSG are well-rested after Sunday’s Ligue 1 match against Nantes was postponed.
Here you will find everything you need to know.

Pedro Neto has escaped a one-match ban for pushing a PSG ball boy in the leg last week, at a UEFA farewell.
However, the Blues will be without Reece James for several weeks due to a new hamstring problem.
Rosenior faces a dilemma in goal with Jorgensen doubtful with a groin problem, but his rival for the number one spot, Robert Sánchez, is equally error-prone.
PSG will be without Fabián Ruiz, injured in his knee, or winger Quentin Ndjantou.
