Paris Saint-Germain secured a commanding 5-2 victory over Chelsea in the Champions League, fueled by the return of key attackers João Neves and Ousmane Dembélé. The result, a significant win for PSG heading into the second leg at Stamford Bridge, saw Neves set up the opener and Dembélé score a brilliant solo goal before halftime. Kvaratskhelia then added two late goals, including one after a Chelsea goalkeeper error, effectively sealing the tie. Dembélé's impressive performance, marked by speed and sharp finishing, signals his return to form after injury setbacks. PSG coach Luis Enrique emphasized the importance of managing Dembélé's playing time carefully despite the win.

The match also featured a 5-2 scoreline, a Dembélé goal, and Kvaratskhelia's brace. Chelsea's defeat highlighted defensive lapses, particularly from goalkeeper Filip Jørgensen, whose error directly led to one of PSG's goals.
