Paris Saint-Germain emphatically asserted their status as Champions League favorites with a 5-2 victory over Chelsea. After fighting back twice, Chelsea appeared poised to take the lead until a goalkeeper mistake gifted PSG the go-ahead goal, which sparked a devastating final 15-minute performance from the French champions.

Kvaratskhelia emerged as the match-winner, scoring twice after coming off the bench while dismantling Chelsea's right flank. PSG's five goals came from an expected goals total of just 0.87, highlighting their ruthless efficiency. Chelsea's defensive errors proved costly, with their coach admitting they failed to remain calm when setbacks occurred.

Despite a season marked by inconsistency and defensive frailties, PSG's overwhelming attacking talent proved decisive once more. The reigning champions can seemingly turn on a switch that leaves opponents helpless, raising serious questions about whether any remaining team in the competition can match their firepower when fully unleashed.
