PSG star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has shared his thoughts on Chelsea after the first leg of the Champions League last 16 tie.
The Blues conceded three goals in the final 15 minutes as they suffered a 5-2 defeat in Paris on Wednesday night, to all but eliminate them from the competition.
The second leg takes place at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday evening, with the Blues needing a miracle to overturn a three goal deficit.
Chelsea caused PSG problems in the game, but as has so often been the case the Blues hit the self destruct button.
Once again issues in defence and with the goalkeeper cost the Blues, with Rosenior’s decision to pick Filip Jorgensen backfiring spectacularly.
The Dane made an awful error which led to PSG going 3-2 up, and Chelsea’s game management after that point was beyond poor.
Jamie Carragher feels Chelsea won’t make any progress until they address the goalkeeper situation, but Kvaratskhelia who scored twice on Wednesday thinks they are a good side.
“I’m happy that I can help to the team and I’m more happy that we won against Chelsea because they are good team,” he told CBS Sports Golazo.
“And yeah, I’m happy for that game.”
With the Blues virtually out of the competition attention now turns to securing a top five finish and making sure there’s Champions League football at Stamford Bridge next season.
Chelsea currently sit fifth, three points behind Manchester United and Aston Villa in third and fourth respectively.
The Blues face Newcastle on Saturday evening in what is a must win game, and with United and Villa playing each other there’s an opportunity to close the gap on one of both teams.
