PSG vs. Chelsea: Goals, Highlights from the Champions League Last-16 1st Leg

Chelsea made the trip across the English Channel on Tuesday to face an all too familiar opponent in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

The Blues were unbeaten in 12 games under interim boss Guus Hiddink while their opponents, Paris Saint-Germain, had not been beaten in Ligue 1 in a crazy 35 matches.

The two sides have met in the knockout phase of the Champions League in each of the last two seasons, with Chelsea eliminating PSG on away goals in 2014 before manager Laurent Blanc's side did the same to the Londoners last year.

The home side started the brighter, but Chelsea had the first genuine chance of the match when Kevin Trapp brilliantly diverted Diego Costa's header onto the crossbar.

After 40 minutes, Zlatan Ibrahimovic made amends for his red card in last season's tie with a deflected free-kick that put PSG in front.

But Chelsea went into the break on even terms after John Obi Mikel reacted first from a corner and fired the Blues level.

An inspired Thibaut Courtois kept PSG out until the 77th minute, when Edinson Cavani restored their advantage.

Cavani's goal proved to be the difference, as PSG recorded a 2-1 win to take a valuable lead with them back to Stamford Bridge in early March.
