Title holders Paris Saint-Germain beat Chelsea 3-0 on Tuesday night to cruise past the west Londoners 8-2 on aggregate and into the quarter-finals of the 2026 Champions League.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who struck twice in the final 10 minutes of the last-16 first leg at the Parc des Princes in Paris on 11 March, opened the scoring in the return leg at Stamford Bridge after six minutes.

Bradley Barcola, also on the scoresheet in the 5-2 victory in the first game, added PSG's second nine minutes later.

Second-half substitute Senny Mayulu, who hit PSG's final goal in the 5-0 annihilation of Inter Milan to claim the 2025 Champions League trophy last May, applied the gloss just after the hour mark.
