Liga kejuaraan UEFA
Round of 32, Second Leg
Stamford Bridge
09 March 16, 1445 ET
It’s deja-vu time for two European elites once more as Chelsea host Paris St-Germain in the Stamford Bridge, making this a third consecutive season where both clubs meet at the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League.
With a 2-1 defeat at the first leg, Chelsea will have to be at their best to take advantage of a lacking PSG, a team that has lost one and draw one of their last three games. Although the English club themselves had drew against Stoke City last weekend, the timely return of Pedro and Diego Costa may yet provide a stronger team for the fight.
Of course, players facing such a match with so much as stake would never miss a chance to trash-talk. PSG ace Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who also scored a goal in the first leg fired the first shot by labelling the London club’s players ‘babies’, while the PSG twitter account humorously (or not) labels Diego Costa a ‘fraud’.
