The Blues were drawn against last season’s Champions League winners, and our opponents in last summer’s FIFA Club World Cup final triumph, when the draw for the knockout rounds was held at UEFA’s headquarters in Switzerland earlier on Friday.

The exact dates for those two matches have now been confirmed. Chelsea will travel to the French capital for the first leg at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday 11 March, with kick-off at 8pm UK time.

The second leg of Chelsea vs Paris Saint-Germain will then conclude back home at Stamford Bridge the following week, on Tuesday 17 March, also starting at 8pm

Ticket details for both legs of our Champions League round-of-16 tie against Paris Saint-Germain will be shared in due course.
