FULL TIME: Chelsea 0-3 PSG (agg 2-8)<\/p>\n
The referee doesn\u2019t bother adding on any additional time, and the whistle goes to end Chelsea\u2019s misery. PSG celebrate while a few Chelsea fans boo. But most of them are already on the way to the tube. PSG will play either Liverpool or Galatasaray in the quarters.<\/p>\n
Share<\/a><\/p>\n Arsenal 2-0 Bayer Leverkusen (agg 3-1). A ball cut back from the right byline by Aleix Garc\u00eda. Christian Kofane steers a first-time effort towards the top left. It looks like it\u2019s in, all the way, but David Raya somehow extends an arm and all of his finger to tip away. That\u2019s a save as good as the goals Arsenal have scored.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Chelsea 0-3 PSG (agg 2-8). Trevoh Chalobah is down and in some pain. Not sure what\u2019s happened, the TV cameras aren\u2019t being intrusive. On comes the stretcher. Chelsea will be down to ten for the rest of the game, having used all of their subs, but that\u2019s the least of their worries with Chalobah injured. God speed young man.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Chelsea 0-3 PSG (agg 2-8). PSG stroke it around while watching the clock. If everyone could disappear down the tunnel now, they would. \u201cPSG haven\u2019t been anywhere near the heights they hit last season,\u201d suggests K\u00e1ri Tulinius. \u201cThey lost to Monaco in the league recently, and were dismal. However, against Chelsea they\u2019ve looked formidable again, but with the caveat that Chelsea have seemed terrible. I honestly can\u2019t tell if PSG make them look bad or they\u2019ve gone to pot.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Arsenal 2-0 Bayer Leverkusen (agg 3-1). A couple of decent crosses into the Arsenal box from the right by Aleix Garc\u00eda. The first is met by Jarell Quansah, who flashes a header wide left. The second is well cleared by Gabriel, with Patrik Schick lurking. Arsenal now ten minutes plus stoppages away from a quarter-final tie with Sporting.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Chelsea 0-3 PSG (agg 2-8). Chelsea look for the mother of all consolations. Alejandro Garnacho cuts in from the left and shoots, but straight at the keeper. A lot of empty seats around Stamford Bridge now. The PSG fans in fine voice.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a017.35 EDT<\/p>\n Arsenal 2-0 Bayer Leverkusen (agg 3-1). Malik Tillman sends a corner in from the right. David Raya comes off his line and flaps. The ball clanks off William Saliba and could go anywhere. Over rather than in. A lucky break. From the next corner, Arsenal launch a counter, but Cristhian Mosquera ends up gifting the ball to Janis Blaswich, with team-mates queuing up to score.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Arsenal 2-0 Bayer Leverkusen (agg 3-1). Leandro Trossard crosses from the left. Bukayo Saka heads back across the face of goal. From close range, Kai Havertz puts the ball into the net against his old club. But it\u2019s not going to stand, because it pinged off his hand, which was also full of Malik Tillman\u2019s shirt at the time. A double whammy.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Arsenal 2-0 Bayer Leverkusen (agg 3-1). Eberechi Eze, his work done, goes off for a sit down. On that subject, here\u2019s Palace fan MS: \u201cEze needs to send a thank-you note to Jared Bowen for his Arsenal transfer. Had Bowen accepted Palace\u2019s terms back in 2020, they would not have bought Eze. Some clown club would have picked Eze up and utterly screwed his career by overplaying him, or trying to control him. Only Hodgson and Glasner, with a little Vieira mixed in, could have created the current version that thrills the Emirates. Oh, yeah, playing a while with Michael Olise probably was good for both of their careers, eh? You\u2019re freakin welcome, Arsenal (and Bayern). But up the Palace!\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Arsenal 2-0 Bayer Leverkusen (agg 3-1). That goal came just as Leverkusen were beginning to pose some threat. Arsenal with two crackers. And there\u2019s nearly a third, as Eberechi Eze turns into space and slaloms his way down the middle. His shot is blocked. He had the option to feed Bukayo Saka to his right, but was entitled to have a go himself having done so much work.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Arsenal 2-0 Bayer Leverkusen (Rice 63); agg 3-1<\/p>\n Declan Rice in a pocket of space just outside the Leverkusen D. He creams a low drive towards the bottom right \u2026 curling outside the post then back in. Janis Blaswich rooted to the spot, and Arsenal are so close to the quarters now!<\/p>\n Declan Rice fires home Arsenal\u2019s second. Photograph: Tom Jenkins\/The GuardianShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a017.33 EDT<\/p>\n GOAL! Chelsea 0-3 PSG (Mayulu 62): agg 2-8<\/p>\n Khvicha Kvaratskhelia advances down the right. His low cross isn\u2019t cleared, and drops to Senny Mayulu, who whips a shot into the top right. Robert S\u00e1nchez had no chance. Fans pour through the exit gates.<\/p>\n Paris St Germain\u2019s Senny Mayulu fires home to extend the visitors\u2019 lead. Photograph: Andrew Couldridge\/Action Images\/ReutersThe PSG fans aren\u2019t going anywhere thought, as they taunt their Chelsea counterparts as they celebrate Senny Mayulu\u2019s goal. Photograph: David Klein\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a017.42 EDT<\/p>\n Arsenal 1-0 Bayer Leverkusen (agg 2-1). This game is opening up. Viktor Gy\u00f6keres barrels down the right and crosses low. Jarell Quansah hooks clear just as Piero Hincapi\u00e9 prepares to tap home.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Arsenal 1-0 Bayer Leverkusen (agg 2-1). Leverkusen are enjoying a productive few minutes. The ball comes into the Arsenal box from the left. Christian Kofane is penalised for fouling Gabriel, who goes over absurdly easily. Gabriel was trusting the ref to fall for that one, and it\u2019s just as well he did, because Jarell Quansah was onto the loose ball and preparing to shoot.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Arsenal 1-0 Bayer Leverkusen (agg 2-1). A rare attack for Leverkusen, Ibrahim Maza sashaying down the middle and seeing his shot blocked by Gabriel. \u201cI thought you might like to know that the forward slash \/ is more pretentiously known as solidus,\u201d begins Artie Prendergast-Smith promisingly. \u201cThis opens up the potential for countless hilarious\/stupid jokes of the \u2018Bod\u00f8\/Glimt weren\u2019t very solidus at the back tonight ha ha\u2019 variety. Of course, maybe you already knew this and chose not to stoop to this level of humour. I have no such scruples.\u201d You do yourself down. Zinger of the year in my book. Mid-March and it\u2019s already in the bag.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Chelsea 0-2 PSG (agg 2-7). A quiet start to the second half at the Bridge. The visitors have brought on Senny Mayulu, who put the cherry on the icing on the cake for PSG in last season\u2019s final rout of Inter. Chelsea aren\u2019t the first team PSG have taken to school, and they won\u2019t be the last.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Arsenal 1-0 Bayer Leverkusen (agg 2-1). Leandro Trossard has been lively tonight, and here he is, sending a power curler towards the top right from 25 yards. Only just wide. Janis Blaswich wasn\u2019t getting there. Somewhere in the multiverse, Trossard is now celebrating a hat-trick. The small margins.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Arsenal 1-0 Bayer Leverkusen (agg 2-1). Exequiel Palacios is booked for a late lunge on an in-flight Eberechi Eze. Viktor Gy\u00f6keres stops to wait for the whistle and the free kick, when he could have raced off towards the Bayer box. This not compute with TNT\u2019s Ally McCoist (405 goals in 777 career appearances).<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Half-time\/full-time\u2020 Postbag. \u201cSo that\u2019s it for Bod\u00f8\/Glimt then, schooled by a better team, when their own attackers fell into the same trap as the Sporting strikers did in Bod\u00f8 and the pressing up front fell apart. Question is, do I bother enduring Liverpool 1 Galatasaray 3 tomorrow, or do I just cancel my relevant TV subscription right away tonight?\u201d \u2013 Jan Egil Romestrand<\/p>\n \u201cThe partisanship of some of the English commentators on the Chelsea v PSG game is utterly ludicrous. Barcola got absolutely no credit for a beautiful finish with all the focus being on how bad Chelsea\u2019s defending was. I mean, it was bad but surely a bit of appreciation is due to a wonderful football team\u201d \u2013 Stephen McCrossan<\/p>\n \u201cWhat a stunner from Eze! An excellent purchase by Arsenal who are potentially on their way to an unprecedented double. The only drawback is that progress in the Champions League<\/a> might hamper their Premier League aspirations. But the vibe is positive, augmented by the explosion of the teenage sensation Dowman\u201d \u2013 Colum Fordham<\/p>\n \u201cThe Arsenal\u2013Leverkusen game seems to be developing in ways pleasing to the home fans. The mixture much the same as before, with the bonus of Saka looking a bit more lively and even taking on his man down the side once or twice. You can imagine Miles Lewis Skelly looking on rather glumly as Piero Hincapie continues to channel dear old Ashley Cole at the back. Generally solid in all other departments. More, please, in the second half\u201d \u2013 Charles Antaki<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m happy for Sporting\u2019s Luis Suarez. Think about how many times the man has had to say: \u2018Not the one that bites people\u2019 \u201d \u2013 Zach Neeley<\/p>\n \u2020: Forward slash in today\u2019s Postbag heading courtesy of \/ a homage to ill-fated heroes Bod\u00f8\/Glimt<\/p>\n Share<\/a>HALF TIME: Chelsea 0-2 PSG (agg 2-7)<\/p>\n Chelsea depart to boos. This huddle doesn\u2019t seem to be working out, does it?<\/p>\n Share<\/a>HALF TIME: Arsenal 1-0 Bayer Leverkusen (agg 2-1)<\/p>\n Eberechi Eze the difference-maker with an absolute pearler. Leverkusen have shown very little in attack, and unless they get a wriggle on in the second half, Arsenal are sauntering stylishly into the quarter-finals, where they\u2019re slated to meet Sporting Club of Lisbon.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Chelsea 0-2 PSG (agg 2-7). Chelsea are pressing for something before the break. Jorrel Hato\u2019s header is clawed out by Matvei Safonov for a corner \u2026 from which PSG nearly score. Bradley Barcola races up the right wing on the counter, enters the box, and tries to poke into the bottom right. Robert Sanchez spreads himself to block, and nothing comes of the resulting corner. That would have put the tin lid on Chelsea\u2019s nightmare first half.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Arsenal 1-0 Bayer Leverkusen (agg 2-1). Gyokeres is skittled to the right of the Bayer D. The free kick\u2019s worked right to left, but Rice can\u2019t find Gyokeres with his cross. Arsenal well on top.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Arsenal 1-0 Bayer Leverkusen (agg 2-1). Trossard gave Eze the pass down the channel there. He\u2019s been superb tonight, too. But what about Eze? Shades of Thierry Henry about the turn and whipped finish, the perfect mix of precision, poise and power. You\u2019ll be seeing that goal again, once or twice.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Arsenal 1-0 Bayer Leverkusen (Eze 36); agg 2-1<\/p>\n Janis Blaswich has made some amazing saves, but he\u2019s not stopping this one! A ball down the inside-left channel. Eze, facing the wrong way, spins to his right, swivels, and launches a screamer into the top left from 25 yards! That\u2019s an outrageously good way to open your Champions League<\/a> goal account!<\/p>\n Eberechi Eze fires home from distance to give Arsenal the lead. Photograph: Alex Burstow\/Arsenal FC\/Getty ImagesEze (centre) and his Arsenal teammates celebrate. Photograph: Tom Jenkins\/The GuardianShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.52 EDT<\/p>\n Chelsea 0-2 PSG (agg 2-7). Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has the ball in the bottom-right corner of the Chelsea goal again \u2026 but the one-two that set up the shot was with an offside Bradley Barcola. The pair enjoy a joke despite it all. Or because of it, depending on which way you look at it.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Arsenal 0-0 Bayer Leverkusen (agg 1-1). Leverkusen are beginning to make mistakes, and here\u2019s another from Aleix Garc\u00eda, who clanks a simple pass out of play for an Arsenal corner. Saka goes short, back up the flank. Eze rolls infield for Trossard, who pearls another shot through a crowded box. Janis Blaswich parries, and the rebound disappears into a tangle of legs. Heroic work by Jarell Quansah, who somehow retains possession despite having fallen over, keeping his leg pressed over the ball. Blaswich eventually snaffles.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Arsenal 0-0 Bayer Leverkusen (agg 1-1). Alejandro Grimaldo and Aleix Garc\u00eda confuse each other near the centre circle, allowing Bukayo Saka to advance on the penalty box and shoot for the top right. Janis Blaswich saves. Then Blaswich makes an even more outrageous stop, Leandro Trossard creaming a shot through a crowded box towards the bottom right, the keeper sticking out a leg to somehow deflect the ball across the face of goal and out to the left. Arsenal well on top now, and looking good for the opener soon.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Chelsea 0-2 PSG (agg 2-7). Thing is, Chelsea have enjoyed 58 percent of possession so far. So much for the benefits of respecting the ball.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>FULL TIME: Sporting 5-0 Bod\u00f8\/Glimt (aet; 3-0 after 90 mins, agg 5-3)<\/p>\n Sporting celebrate one of the great European comebacks! Bod\u00f8\/Glimt will always have San Siro.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Sporting 5-0 Bod\u00f8\/Glimt (Nel 120+1); agg: 5-3<\/p>\n Daniel Bragan\u00e7a steals the ball off a dozing\/knackered Patrick Berg, 30 yards out. He feeds Rafael Nel down the right channel. Nel enters the box and absolutely roofs a shot into the top right, before disappearing under a pile of team-mates. Sporting have been magic tonight; poor Bod\u00f8\/Glimt, whose romantic tale has ended in heartbreak.<\/p>\n Bodo\/Glimt’s Daniel Bassi and teammates look dejected after Sporting’s Rafael Nel scored their fifth goal. Photograph: Pedro Nunes\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.36 EDT<\/p>\n Arsenal 0-0 Bayer Leverkusen (agg 1-1). Leandro Trossard tries a curler towards the top right. He doesn\u2019t quite catch it, and Janis Blaswich is able to claw it out and away. But that\u2019s a first shot across the Bayer bow.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Chelsea 0-2 PSG (Barcola 14); agg 2-7<\/p>\n Chelsea ship possession in the centre circle. PSG advance down the right, Warren Za\u00efre-Emery shuttling wide for Achraf Hakimi, who rolls infield for Bradley Barcola. One touch and a snapshot that rises towards the top-left corner and in. This could get ugly quickly. Chelsea already in damage limitation, reputation saving mode.<\/p>\n Paris St Germain\u2019s Bradley Barcola scores their second goal.

Slowly but surely.<\/p>\n Gabriel of Arsenal heads over the bar. Photograph: Tom Jenkins\/The GuardianShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.23 EDT<\/p>\n Sporting 4-0 Bod\u00f8\/Glimt (agg 4-3). Sporting have something to lose now, and with time running out, are sitting back. Inviting pressure. A Bod\u00f8\/Glimt corner comes in from the left. Andreas Helmersen loops a header towards the top right but there\u2019s not enough pace on the effort to beat Rui Silva, who plucks from the air. Sporting are five minutes plus stoppages away from the quarters.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Chelsea 0-1 PSG (agg 2-6). Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez advances down the left and wins a corner with a deflected shot. The set piece leads to some head tennis, and then Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez nuts goalwards \u2026 only for the ball to clank off the back of keeper Matvei Safonov, who was all over the shop, facing the wrong way, spinning like a teenager on Special Brew. Then the whistle goes for a non-existent foul to release the pressure on the champions.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Chelsea 0-1 PSG (Kvaratskhelia 6); agg 2-6<\/p>\n A speculative long pass down the PSG left. Mamadou Sarr misjudges the flight, letting the ball hit his heel. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia zips off with it, enters the box, and flashes a shot across Robert S\u00e1nchez and into the bottom right. A very difficult task has become almost impossible for Chelsea, and that didn\u2019t take long.<\/p>\n Khvicha Kvaratskhelia fires home the opening goal of the night and effectively snuff out the faint hope that Chelsea had of pulling off an astonishing comeback.
