Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior defended his decision to start Filip Jørgensen over Robert Sánchez in Wednesday's 5-2 Champions League loss to Paris Saint-Germain, despite the Danish keeper's critical error contributing to the third goal. The switch backfired when Jørgensen mishandled a clearance, allowing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to score a stunning 4-1 strike that shifted momentum. "We need to be better when setbacks happen," Rosenior admitted, acknowledging his team's inability to recover from conceding three goals in 16 minutes. PSG's Ousmane Dembélé and Bradley Barcola tormented Chelsea's midfield, with Enzo Fernández and Moisés Caicedo publicly criticizing the goalkeeper selection during the match.
