What They're Saying
PSG manager Laurent Blanc (via Daily Mail): "First, it is [Lucas Digne] who very clearly asked to leave. For now, he is with us, he is very professional, he trains very well and has prepared excellently. He has shown the results in friendlies."
Chelsea center-back John Terry (via Daily Mail): "[Jose Mourinho] has a lot of great records against clubs and other managers. It must play on their minds. When other big teams sign big players you do think: 'Oh.' But it must be the same for them when Mourinho signs his contract at the club and extends. It's great news for the club, but terrible news for everybody else because the other managers know that he finds ways to beat teams. He knows people inside out, on and off the pitch. Whether you're a player or manager, he does his groundwork. He knows everything."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Nathaniel Chalobah is one of the many Chelsea youngsters who will have an opportunity to shine this summer. On loan at Reading last season, the 20-year-old averaged 1.1 key passes per match.
PSG's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Sirigu; Aurier, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Digne; Rabiot, Matuidi, Stambouli; Moura, Zlatan, Augustin
Chelsea's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Begovic; Ivanovic, Zouma, Cahill, Azpilicueta; Matic, Chalobah; Ramires, Oscar, Hazard; Costa
