PSG cruises into Champions League quarters
Paris Saint-Germain cruised into the Champions League quarter-finals with a 3-0 win over Chelsea in the last-16 second leg, earning a thumping 8-2 victory on aggregate.
Having a 5-2 lead from the first leg, PSG wasted little time in adding to that advantage and ending Chelsea's hopes of a stunning comeback early in the tie.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia came off the bench to grab an assist and two goals that proved the difference in the first leg, and he took little time to come back and haunt Chelsea once more.
Chelsea was carved open by a long punt from Matvey Safonov, and Kvaratskhelia held off Mamadou Sarr long enough to bend an effort past Robert Sanchez just six minutes in.
Just eight minutes later, PSG doubled the lead; after stealing the ball in midfield, Achraf Hakimi pulled it back to Bradley Barcola, who picked out the top-left corner with a stunning volley.
Kvaratskhelia had a second goal disallowed shortly after the half-hour mark for offside, giving Chelsea a reprieve.
The Blues had their chances, with Safonov making a string of fine saves to keep out Joao Pedro, Moises Caicedo and Alejandro Garnacho throughout the game.
Senny Mayulu made sure of the result in the 62nd minute. Hakimi miscued Vitinha's cross, but Mayulu was on hand to whip his shot between two defenders and past a helpless Sanchez.
