All Chelsea vs. PSG Results

Chelsea’s first ever meeting with PSG came all the way back in 2004 during the group stage of the Champions League and it’s fair to say the former had the first laugh. The Blues ran out 3–0 winners in Paris courtesy of a John Terry header and Didier Drogba double, with the reverse fixture finishing goalless at Stamford Bridge.

It would be just under ten years until the pair fought on European soil again, this time in the quarter-final of the the continent’s premier competition. Having lost the first leg 3–1 at Parc des Princes, Chelsea found themselves fighting an uphill battle in west London during the second leg, but Demba Ba’s 86th-minute effort secured a 2–0 win that sent them into the semis on away goals.

They would duel again the following season, this time in the last 16. Late drama favoured PSG on this occasion as tensions spilled over during the second leg after a 1–1 draw in France. Despite Zlatan Ibrahimović’s early red card, late goals from former Chelsea defender David Luiz and future Blues centre back Thiago Silva —the latter coming in extra-time—secured an away goals triumph for the French side following a 2–2 draw in London.

The pair simply couldn’t escape one another as they were drawn to face off in the Champions League last 16 the following year, but things were more conclusive this time around. Ibrahimović scored twice across the legs as PSG earned back-to-back 2–1 victories to knock Chelsea out.
