 If you wanted to see an Italian midfield at its best then yesterday’s Champions League playoff between Paris Saint-Germaine and Chelsea showed how the Italian-France combination portrayed a level of calm only displayed by teams considered to be giants in the world of football.

PSG were able to see a confident side take on an already wounded team in terms of League football that was looking to get the night over and done with. Some would tell that Chelsea were going to get beaten from the on start and   this was evident when PSG scored from a Zlatan Ibrahomovic shot that was deflected by Mikel.

The reluctant nature of PSG saw Chelsea equalize from a Conner just before the half-hour mark taking things to a 1-1 stalemate at half time. In second half PSG produced a master class of passing display with Marco Veratti showing off why he is hottest midfielder in the market.

Although not able to finish off their chances, PSG would finally get the winning goal from substitute Edison Cavani who finished a through pass from former Manchester United player Angel Di-Maria.

According to the opportunities at goal that PSG got in the game they would have scored more but just seemed Lazy and not in a hurry to finish of the game. This handed Chelsea a slight advantage going in to the 2^nd Leg to be played at The Stamford Bridge. 

PSG will have to come out guns blazing to finish off what they started at the Parc-De-Princess.
