Terry’s next appearance will be his 700th for Chelsea, who maintain a contract offer might be forthcoming after the defender revealed he would be leaving Stamford Bridge when his deal expires at the end of the season.

“We will go to London to win there as well”. Tonight we played our football.

“Let’s see with John”. You know, the problem is that I am wounded, and my family are hurt too.

It is the third year in a row Chelsea and PSG have been drawn together in the Champions League.

Substitute Edinson Cavani later sealed the victor for the home side, but Mikel believes “The Blues” achieved their aim of getting an away goal against the Ligue 1 champions which is vital for the second-leg.

When the Parisian club finally made the breakthrough in the 38th minute – Mikel had a hand and a leg. He mistakenly tripped Lucas Moura on the edge of the box and then turned away from the resultant freekick from Zlatan Ibrahimovic. “Hopefully the goal that puts us through in the tie”.

PSG’s win means they have still lost just once in 40 games this season, while it was a first defeat for Chelsea since Guus Hiddink replaced the sacked Jose Mourinho in December.

“But he played very well, he looked up and had good control, and maybe his fitness is the reason they brought him off after 70 minutes, to get Oscar on and give them some fresh legs”.

“We can expect a tough match at Stamford Bridge but I think the Chelsea players will say the same thing”.

“I think it’s 50-50 still”.

“We saw two different styles and it will be the same in three weeks”.

“It’s disappointing at the end because I thought we defended throughout the game really well and we dug in”.

Courtois denied Di Maria from a free-kick before the former Manchester United winger played a fine ball over the top for Cavani, who stayed onside before tucking the ball under the goalkeeper from a tight angle.

“This was a very good match from both teams”, Blanc told beIN Sports.
