Trevoh Chalobah has been speaking about Chelsea's chances in the Champions League last 16 second leg against Paris Saint-Germain at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday evening

Trevoh Chalobah is predicting a "very special" occasion as Chelsea welcome Paris Saint-Germain to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday evening, searching for a historic Champions League comeback.

The Blues were beaten 5-2 by the European champions at Parc des Princes last week with a late collapse seeing PSG pull away in the tie. While going into Tuesday night three goals down, there is still hope among the Chelsea squad as they look to reach the quarter-finals, where the winner will be taking on one of Galatasaray or Liverpool.

After falling to a 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United on Saturday evening, Chelsea only have 72 hours between that game and the second leg against PSG. Chalobah, though, is hoping for an unforgettable night under the lights at Stamford Bridge.

"This is Chelsea and it's what we are playing for," said Chalobah ahead of Tuesday night's second leg. "We want to be competing in the best competitions, both in Europe and in the Premier League, and we have a big game on Tuesday that I'm sure will be very special.

"It's going to be a tough challenge but we are going to give it everything, so we need to move on from this game and focus on some big challenges ahead, starting with PSG."

Chelsea were booed off in front of their own supporters after a frustrating defeat to Newcastle at the weekend. Anthony Gordon's 18th-minute goal was enough for the Magpies to continue the Blues' woes at home this season and while Chalobah is frustrated, he accepted these sort of games happen in football sometimes.

"We created a lot of chances that we didn't take," said the Blues defender. "We had a lot of possession and played a lot of the game in their half. Newcastle defended deep and defended well in fairness. We were just lacking that final touch in front of goal.

"I think it was a mixture of things [as to why Chelsea didn't score. "A mixture of end product not quite being there, and Newcastle defending well with their low block. They were obviously clinical with their goal, which won them the game too.

"That happens in football sometimes, it's the fine margins and we just need to pick ourselves up and go again, because we've got a lot of big games coming up."
