Chelsea capitulate at PSG as blunder triggers collapse and leaves Blues' hopes in tatters

PSG 5-2 CHELSEA: The Blues had been looking good value for a draw until their goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen made a howler, which opened the door for the Champions League holders to all but end the tie

This week's Champions League has been a story of English teams and their goalkeepers doing what they can to self harm as Chelsea's Filip Jorgensen was left to rue his high risk approach.

Were it not for the Swede and his high risk approach the Blues may well be taking a draw back to Stamford Bridge. Tuesday night witnessed another London team in Tottenham go into full meltdown mode with their goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky making unwanted headlines.

Jorgensen's mishap was nowhere near as bad, but the goalkeeper had continued to chance his arm all night and that method cost him and his team. A misplaced pass allowed Vitinha to score the fifth goal of night, lobbing the Dane when he was out of position to put PSG 3-2 up, and from there it only got worse for the Blues.

That error changed the course of the game and a night that had looked so positive, ended with the Blues realistically having a mountain to climb. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia appeared off the bench to score a brace for the Parisians, and that changes the course of the tie.

Chelsea had showed that they do have what it takes to mix it with PSG. With all this talk of the knockout draw being split into an easy side and heavyweight side, there's little to no talk of the Blues when it comes to the heavyweights, but they gave as good as they got for long periods.

Performance is one thing, making it count is another. It will be of little solace to them when they look at the score with their Champions League hopes all but over against a PSG side that showed their ruthless side in the latter stages.

Jorgensen played another risky pass in the latter stages, which saw Chelsea lose possession and concede a fifth. The offside flag would save them, albeit only for so long. But it wouldn't save the Chelsea goalkeeper from a full on rant as Enzo Fernandez let rip, clearly frustrated by his inability to learn his lesson.

Malo Gusto had come up with Chelsea's first equaliser in the opening 45 minutes and then Fernandez, a man linked with a switch to Paris, timed his run perfectly to silence the usual partisan Parc des Princes. A 2-2 draw would've left the tie finely poised.

Kvaratskhelia completed his stellar cameo with his second and his side's fifth in stoppage time, adding further insult to injury. It feels as though Liam Rosenior's side can look back on a night that promised a lot, but ultimately delivered little. Yes for an hour they had all the hallmarks of a side on the rise, but PSG showed just how far they still have to go.
