IT'S A BRIDGE TOO FAR FOR SLOPPY BLUES

CHELSEA needed a miracle.

- BY BOBBY VINCENT

They were instead handed a harsh lesson.Three goals behind heading into the second leg, the tie was over for good after just 14 minutes of last night's action.

European champions Paris Saint-Germain showed their class and demonstrated to Liam Rosenior just how far Chelsea need to climb to return to the top echelons of European football.

There was quiet optimism going into the second leg at Stamford Bridge, but two early goals from the French side took the tie far away.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored after six minutes with his third goal in less than a week against Chelsea, not long before Bradley Barcola doubled PSG's advantage and took them five ahead of the Blues on aggregate.
