Watch PSG vs Chelsea live streams in the Round of 16 1st leg from Parc des Princes as the reigning champions struggle to hold on to their Champions League crown. Luis Enrique's side failed to win half of their games in the league phase of the competition and were pushed hard in the playoffs by Ligue 1 rivals Monaco.

They’ll certainly need to be at their best against a Chelsea side enjoying an impressive European campaign. They finished sixth in the league phase, with a 3-0 win over Barcelona the standout result. The west Londoners also have a manager in Liam Rosenior who knows PSG well from his time in charge of Strasbourg.

The Blues have positive memories of their most recent fixture against PSG, a 3-0 victory last summer to lift the Club World Cup that featured a Cole Palmer masterclass. Joao Pedro, meanwhile, has 11 goals in his past 12 outings. PSG seek revenge for that defeat and will be looking for a big performance from star forward Ousmane Dembélé, who returned from injury at the weekend.
