The big screens at Stamford Bridge wasted no time in reassuring the Chelsea rank and file as the Blues eased into the FA Cup semi finals with a handsome victory over Port Vale. A professional demonstration of the gulf between the Premier League and League One was very much in evidence, on a day that Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior relished in the wake of four straigh

Feeling the heat : Picture by @YTJourno In the end, it was pretty much a massacre. And a feeble one at that, with little resistance on show. Chelsea shipped two early goals against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night to virtually flatline their hopes before they could even stir. Already 5-2 down from the first leg, there was to be no way back. It seemed somehow entirely in keeping with the week the club has had, with a defeat to Newcastle United, the huddle fiasco, news that

By Alessandro Schiavone at Parc des Princes, Paris on the 9th of March 2026 PSG failed their Chelsea audition five days before the Blues come to town for the first leg of the last-16 Champions League tie.
