The Blues had been holding their own at the Parc des Princes, goals from Enzo Fernandez and Malo Gusto seeing them come from behind twice to cancel out Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembele’s first-half strikes.But as the game grew on, Liam Rosenior’s side faded, and Filip Jorgensen’s mistake allowed Vitinha to lob the European champions back ahead.The Premier League club would have felt confident for the second leg had the scoring ended there, but Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s quick-fire double saw the game end 5-2 and leave a mountain to climb in London.Chelsea’s form at home has been far from consistent this season, although strong performances have seemed to come in the big games. ⚽ Chelsea Matchday⚽ Team news, line-ups, expert previews and tactical analysis for every Chelsea fixture at Stamford Bridge.

After the game, captain Reece James was captured shouting at the shot-stopper to clap the away end – an instruction he looked to ignore.He did ultimately return, but only after having been physically stopped at the dugout by his teammates.Ex-Everton chief executive Keith Wyness exclusively told Football Insider in January that Rosenior must control the dressing room, and the 41-year-old faces exactly that challenge now.What Liam Rosenior said about JorgensenRosenior has been left in a difficult position by Wednesday’s events, with his goalkeeping decisions now under the microscope.

The Chelsea manager may be minded to bring Sanchez back in, although the public dropping of the Spaniard feels as if it has already been made too permanent. “Filip isn’t the first one to make a mistake, that’s part of football, but he has put his hands up in the dressing-room.” 🦁 Don’t Miss a Beat: Your Chelsea Insider Access Get the full story from Stamford Bridge and Cobham with our dedicated expert hubs: Updated 24/7 with expert analysis from West London.
