PSG have not managed to rediscover the exhilarating form that led them to Champions League glory for the first time in their history last season, but they come into March still on course to retain their French and European titles.
Chelsea visit the Parc des Princes next Wednesday in the first leg of their last-16 tie in Europe, which will be the first meeting of the teams since last July’s Club World Cup final in which PSG lost 3-0.
Luis Enrique’s side reached the Champions League last 16 with a nervy 5-4 aggregate win over Monaco in last month’s play-off round, and now they take on the principality side in Ligue 1 in what will be the clubs’ third meeting in two and a half weeks.
