PSG boss Laurent Blanc has warned Chelsea saying that his side will knock Chelsea out of Champions League this season. He also his side needs to be highly efficient in front of goal if they are qualify for the latter stages of the Champions League.
The tie is even poised with both sides featuring in 1-1 draw after their first leg in Parc des Princes last month. Chelsea got the initial with the help of three of their defenders. With Terry crossing the ball and Cahill flicking the ball, Ivanovic headed it home to give a little advantage to Chelsea having scored an away goal.
The tie was made even when Cavani headed a goal in the second half incredibly getting unmarked despite seven Chelsea players present in the box. The second leg however favors little to Premier League table toppers Chelsea.
However, Blanc has the confidence that his side could get the job done despite admitting that the Blues have the advantage. He also knows a knock-out from Champions League would see him sacked by PSG any time during the season.
“At Chelsea we will have fewer chances than this evening so we have to take them when they come,” he said after their 4-1 win against Lens.
“Of course we believe we can go through. We have a disadvantage because they scored that goal away from home. It’s up to us to do the same thing. We don’t have the same philosophy in our game as they do. But if we show the same realism as them I will take that,” he added.
The fixture will see David Luiz come back to Stamford Bridge for the very first time since his big money move to PSG last summer. If PSG are to be qualified they need their attackers Zlatan and Cavani to score.
