CHELSEA 0-3 PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN AGG: (2-8): Full Blues player ratings from Stamford Bridge after Liam Rosenior's side crashed out of the Champions League at the last 16 stage
Chelsea crashed out of the Champions League last 16 after being thrashed over two legs by European champions Paris Saint-Germain.
There was quiet optimism going into the second leg at Stamford Bridge, with the Blues trailing 5-2, but two early goals from the French side took the tie far away from the west London side’s grasp.
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 on the night and took them five ahead of the Blues.

As was the case in the first leg, Chelsea were undone by their own individual errors and PSG showed exactly why they won this competition last season with their clinical nature.
PSG inflicted more pain on Chelsea in the second half as substitute Senny Mayulu smashed one into the top corner as home fans then started to flood out of Stamford Bridge.
It ended 8-2 to the European champions on aggregate in a really humbling experience for Chelsea. Below, Bobby Vincent rates the Chelsea players out of 10 based on their performance this evening:
Robert Sanchez - Nothing Sanchez could have done about the goals. The least of Chelsea's issues this evening. 6
Trevoh Chalobah - PSG's second goal didn't look great on Chalobah. Barcola looked to be his man but he abandoned his marking duties and the France international rifled the ball into the top corner. Chalobah then gets completely done by Barcola 33 minutes in and was lucky the winger lacked composure in front of goal. 4
Mamadou Sarr - A first Champions League appearance for Sarr and it could not have started any worse. He tried to control a long ball despite being under pressure by Kvaratskhelia and the PSG winger converted the chance that was gifted to him. Hooked at the half-time break. 4
Jorrel Hato - Another surprise inclusion. Did better than the other two centre-backs. 5
Pedro Neto - Used as a right wing-back as he returned from suspension. Worked hard but lacked any sort of end product. 5
Andrey Santos - The Brazil international returned to the side. Passed it well, at times, under pressure but was not able to impact the match in an attacking sense. PSG cut the Chelsea midfield out on a few occasions with their blistering counter attacks. 5
Moises Caicedo - Caicedo played a poor pass and that proved costly with PSG going up the other end and making it 2-0 on the night. Not his best night. His form is perhaps a cause for concern. 5
Cole Palmer - He had a really good chance to play the ball into Joao Pedro's path on 12 minutes on a promising Chelsea counter-attack but got his pass all wrong. That, unfortunately, has sort of summed up Palmer of late. Not able to impact the second leg. 5
Enzo Fernandez - Fernandez was unable to have the required impact. After a brilliant first leg display from the Argentine, PSG did a good job of restricting him this time around. 5
Marc Cucurella - The Spaniard was used at left wing-back. Like Neto on the opposite side, he showed tonnes of energy on his wing but could not really impact the game in an attacking sense. 5
Joao Pedro - The Brazilian looked the most likely for Chelsea, having a few efforts at goal, but was deprived of the required service. Held it up well at times. Probably Chelsea's best player (not a high bar). 6
Josh Acheampong (on for Sarr 46') - Think a trick was missed by not starting him. Held his own when coming on for the second half. 6
Liam Delap (on for Joao Pedro 59') - Came on for the final half hour or so. Quiet. 5
Alejandro Garnacho (on for Palmer 59') - Unable to make an impact in an attacking sense. A couple of unsuccessful shots. 5
Romeo Lavia (on for Fernandez 59') - Good to see him get some more minutes. Passed it well. 6
Tosin Adarabioyo (on for Cucurella 71') - Did fine in the short time he was on. 6
