Joao Neves and Ousmane Dembele returned from injury to help Paris Saint-Germain rout Chelsea 5-2 in the last 16 of the Champions League.
They combined to set up the first goal after 10 minutes and Dembele scored with a brilliant solo effort late in the first half.
The third goal followed a blunder from Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jrgensen, who passed the ball straight to PSG forward Bradley Barcola. He fed substitute Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who then passed inside to Vitinha and he neatly lobbed Jrgensen.
Kvaratskhelia added two late goals allowing PSG to take a healthy lead into next Tuesday’s second leg at Stamford Bridge in London.
“We showed we are capable of anything. We have to carry on like this,” Kvaratskhelia said. “We conceded goals but we have to analyze the mistakes we made.”
Ballon d’Or moment
Dembele’s speed and lucid thinking on his goal showed that the Ballon d’Or winner is getting back to his best in an injury-hit season.
