On March 12th, , the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16, Paris Saint-Germain 5-2 Chelsea.
The Telegraph analysis pointed out that the two sides were evenly matched in the first 74 minutes of the game, but Chelsea goalkeeper Jorgensen's fatal mistake became a turning point, and the team then completely collapsed in 16 minutes. Enzo openly accused his teammates, Neto clashed with the ball boy, exposing the team's emotional outage and disciplinary problems.
The following is an analysis by The Telegraph
Chelsea should have enjoyed the opportunity to eliminate the defending Champions League champions, but 16 minutes of complete chaos means they now have to rely on a miracle.
Goalkeeper Jorgensen staged his own "Kinsky moment", which also became a key turning point in determining the trend of the game in this Champions League round of 16 match against Paris Saint-Germain. Chelsea vice-captain Enzo then publicly criticized the Danish goalkeeper and even threw the ball at him, while Pedro Neto pushed a Paris Saint-Germain ball boy on the sidelines, causing him to fall to the ground.
After the situation calmed down, Neto hugged the ball boy and revealed after the game that he had apologized to him and gave him his jersey. However, this incident once again highlighted that Chelsea players completely lost their minds during that period, and once again raised external questions about the team's discipline.
In the process of Chelsea's collapse, Paris Saint-Germain substitute Kvaratskhelia scored two goals in a row at the end of the game, leaving Rosenior's team facing an almost insurmountable mountain in the second leg at Stamford Bridge next week.
Rosenior said: "We have talked about this many times - discipline and staying calm in critical moments. This is my responsibility and I have to find the answer. Because now people will no longer talk about many of our positive performances in the game. That does exist, but it doesn't matter anymore because we came here to win. We have dug ourselves into a hole to some extent, making this round of matches very, very difficult, but not completely impossible to reverse."
Before Jorgensen experienced his unforgettable Champions League moment, Chelsea were on track to return to their home court with a draw - and just the day before, Tottenham goalkeeper Kinsky had also experienced a disastrous night against Atletico Madrid.
With a careless mistake in the backcourt, Chelsea handed the lead back to Paris Saint-Germain.
One can't help but wonder if Rosenior ever doubted his decision - starting Jorgensen in this game instead of Robert Sanchez, only his third Champions League appearance in his career. And previously, Tottenham coach Tudor had paid the price for his decision to choose Kinsky.
Will the same thing happen to Jorgensen?
The Danish international did not suffer the same degree of humiliation as Kinsky, but his mistake was equally crucial, and the final score was strikingly similar to Tottenham's loss to Atletico Madrid.
Tudor was criticized for not comforting Kinsky after replacing him in the 17th minute in Madrid, and Enzo's public reprimand of his teammates after Jorgensen's mistake also showed a lack of compassion and leadership.
Enzo was also involved in the conflict caused by Neto knocking down the ball boy. His previous goal for Chelsea to equalize the score to 2-2 now seems insignificant.
After Enzo's goal, Chelsea were expected to take a lot of applause away from Paris. But when Jorgensen made a mistake in the 74th minute, everything started to collapse, and the team once again exposed its immaturity.
Rosenior chose Jorgensen over Sanchez largely because the former was considered to have better ball-playing ability. The 23-year-old goalkeeper looked very calm on the ball for the rest of the time after a nervous mistake in the first five minutes.
But when the score was 2-2, Wesley Fofana passed the ball back to him, but Jorgensen handled it too casually, and his pass was intercepted by Barcola. Vitinha then still needed to complete the final step, and he broke Jorgensen's goal with a wonderful lob shot that was positioned too far forward.
Joao Pedro then scored a goal but it was ruled out for offside, and Kvaratskhelia then extended Paris's lead with a wonderful curler. Chelsea not only "shot themselves in one foot", but simply shot the other foot again.
Kvaratskhelia helped Paris change the score to 4-2 with a wonderful goal.
After Paris's fifth goal was disallowed, Enzo angrily yelled at Jorgensen, threw the ball at him and scolded him loudly. The Argentine's behavior was shocking, as incomprehensible as Neto pushing the ball boy to restart the game as soon as possible.
The audience at the Parc des Princes erupted in huge boos, and several players - including Enzo - had to be separated. But the home fans' anger quickly turned into cheers as Kvaratskhelia then scored Paris's fifth goal.
Before the dramatic collapse in the last 16 minutes, Chelsea actually showed a lot of fighting spirit, character and quite good strength. They equalized the score twice after falling behind and looked like they even had a chance to cause an upset.
Jorgensen could not prevent Paris from taking the lead in the 10th minute. At that time, Barcola was unmarked and easily broke through the goal. The problems on the Paris goalkeeper side were also exposed in Chelsea's first goal.
Enzo found Gusto completely unmarked in the penalty area. The right-back's shot was not aimed at the ideal angle, but the ball still slipped past the save of Safonov, who should have saved the ball.
Chelsea then almost took the lead. A cross from Reece James found Palmer in the penalty area, but his shot was brilliantly saved by Safonov. And just 14 seconds later, Paris took the lead again with a counterattack from Dembele.
In the early stages of the second half, the visiting team did not have much possession, but they equalized the score again in the 57th minute thanks to Neto's quick reaction.
The Portuguese player intercepted the ball that was originally passed to Duer, advanced from the left and assisted Enzo, who scored.
Chelsea players celebrated wildly in the corner flag area, where their fans were located. Enzo also pointed to the champion badge on his jersey.
But the real champions will remain calm and seize the opportunity, and Chelsea did neither. In fact, they did the opposite, and Paris Saint-Germain made them pay the price for it.

the solutions for next Chelsea need get rid all those sh*t cb they are the one causing goalkeeper errors. always back pass
you're right I knew those Fofana back pass were gonna result in an error from the goalkeeper because PSG is a team that attacks a lot a pressure so if you keep playing form the back they'll pressure you pushing you to make an error which we did the keeper wasn't that bad beside those errors

From when did ball playing technique become more important than shot stopping… Some of these stupid dumbass coaches will look at the ball playing attributes of Nuer and Ederson, and implement it forgetting they were equally good with their hands… It should always be an added advantage rather than priority… They think they are Pep Guardiola… Even Pep now preferred Donaruma over a “ball playing keeper”…
