Champions League: Paris Saint Germain beat Chelsea 3-1
Paris Saint Germain took a huge step towards the Champions League semis as they beat 3-1 Chelsea last night in the first leg of their quarterfinal tie played in Paris.
The French Champions showed an excellent attacking display throughout the entire match leaving the Blues with a lot to do in the return leg next week.
Ezequiel Lavezzi opened the scoring in the 4th minute with a powerful shot from 12 yards but Eden Hazard levelled from the penalty spot almost in the half-hour mark following Thiago Silva carelessly foul on Oscar in the box.
Hazard could have put Chelsea on command before the break but his volley rebounded back off the post.

Paris started brightly after the interval and went ahead again thanks to David Luiz own goal.
Lavezzi was involved again as his free kick from the left flank crossed the entire area before finding the Brazilian defender who could not avoid sending the ball into his own net.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic had to leave the game moments later with what appeared to be a hamstring strain.
PSG pushed for a third and found it 3 minutes into the stoppage time through an amazing solo effort by Javier Pastore.
The Argentinian slalomed through all Chelsea defenders and netted at the near post sending the fans into raptures.
Mourinho’s men will have to score at least twice at Stamford Bridge next week if they want to progess into the next round.
