Paris Saint-Germain took advantage of sloppy defending to beat Chelsea 3-1 in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal on Wednesday, with substitute Javier Pastore capping the win with a brilliant goal in stoppage time.
Chelsea did well to contain Zlatan Ibrahimovic, PSG´s top scorer with more than 40 goals this season.
But Jose Mourinho´s team was undone by lapses from captain John Terry and midfielder David Luiz, who gave the ball away leading up to the opening goal.
PSG´s opener came after only four minutes when Ezequiel Lavezzi twisted to sweep the ball home after Terry´s poor headed clearance.
Eden Hazard equalized from the penalty spot midway through the first half, only for PSG to take the lead again in the 61st as Luiz shinned the ball into his own net.
After a second straight defeat, following last weekend´s 1-0 reverse against struggling Crystal Palace in the Premier League, Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho was angry with his players. “When the games are tight and when you make the defensive mistakes, you are in trouble,” he said.
