What They're Saying
Paris Saint-Germain manager Laurent Blanc (via UEFA): "The circumstances are far from ideal, but we'll just have to be patient. Let's hope the conditions have a positive impact and strengthen the bond between the players, the technical staff and the fans. I hope we can count on this chemistry, as we'll need it against a team of great quality. We'll all have to be good to unsettle this excellent Chelsea team."
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho: "The Champions League is a space for surprises. In the past decade, it's been 50-50 between the favorites and outsiders to win the trophy. At the moment, for me there are 16 candidates for the title. Last season we beat them, but we lost in Paris and again the knockout blow came only in the last few minutes. I'm not saying we won because we were better than Paris. It came down to the details. We had scored that away goal in the first leg and didn't concede in the return."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Chelsea's Cesc Fabregas remains the club's integral piece. In six Champions League appearances, the 27-year-old has two goals and three assists.
PSG's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Sirigu; Maxwell, Luiz, Silva, Van der Wiel; Matuidi, Motta/Pastore, Verratti; Cavani, Ibrahimovic, Lavezzi
Chelsea's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Azpilicueta, Terry, Cahill, Ivanovic; Matić, Fàbregas; Hazard, Oscar, Willian; Costa
