Previous meetings • When the teams met in the 2004/05 group stage, Chelsea were 3-0 victors in Paris through a John Terry header and two strikes from Didier Drogba. It gave Mourinho a winning start in his first UEFA Champions League game in charge of the west London side the season after lifting the trophy for the first time with FC Porto. • The full lineups at the Parc des Princes on 14 September 2004 were: Paris: Letizi, Mendy, Cana, Hélder, Armand, M’Bami, Pierre-Fanfan, Rothen (Ateba 84), Coridon (Ljuboja 66), Pauleta, Ogbeche (Pancrate 72). Chelsea: Čech, Ferreira, Gallas, Terry, Bridge, Makelele, Lampard, Tiago, J Cole (Geremi 70), Gudjohnsen (Kežman 11), Drogba (Duff 81). • The return game at Stamford Bridge ended goalless. • The teams also drew 1-1 in a friendly on 23 July 2012 at Yankee Stadium in New York, Nenê and Lucas Piazon scoring the goals. The starting lineups were: Chelsea: Čech, Ferreira, Luiz, Cahill, Hutchinson, De Bruyne, Lampard, Mikel, Hazard, Lukaku, Kakuta. Paris: Douchez, Sakho, Alex, Armand, Jallet, Nenê, Bodmer, Chantôme, Pastore, Lavezzi, Gameiro. • Paris have played seven matches against English sides with the record W1 D3 L3. Their only victory came in the first leg of the 1996/97 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup semi-final, a 3-0 triumph against Liverpool FC setting up a 3-2 aggregate win. In the final they lost 1-0 to FC Barcelona. Three years earlier, PSG had drawn 1-1 at home to Arsenal FC in the last four of the same competition and went out 2-1 on aggregate. • The win in Paris is Chelsea's only triumph on French soil. They were last there for a UEFA Champions League group stage fixture in 2010/11, losing 1-0 at Olympique de Marseille. They lost at the same venue and by the same score in the 1999/2000 second group stage and also went down 3-1 at AS Monaco FC in the 2003/04 semi-final first leg, eventually succumbing 5-3 on aggregate. • Chelsea did beat an FC Girondins de Bordeaux side coached by Laurent Blanc 4-0 in London in the 2008/09 group stage – Frank Lampard with the opening goal – before a 1-1 draw in France. Match background • Paris are in the quarter-finals for the second time in successive seasons and only the third time in all. A year ago at this stage they drew 2-2 at home to Barcelona and 1-1 at the Camp Nou, losing on away goals. • In this season's round of 16 a 4-0 win at Bayer 04 Leverkusen – with two goals from Ibrahimović – set up a comfortable Paris victory. They won the return 2-1 to take their goal tally in the competition to 22, of which Ibrahimović has contributed ten. • At home in this season's group stage Paris beat SL Benfica (3-0) and Olympiacos CF (2-1) and drew 1-1 with RSC Anderlecht. • Paris are unbeaten in 28 European home games. The last visiting team to prevail at the Parc des Princes in UEFA competition were Hapoel Tel-Aviv FC, 4-2 winners in the UEFA Cup group stage in November 2006. • Paris' only other European Cup semi-final appearance came in 1994/95 when they lost 3-0 on aggregate to AC Milan. • Chelsea are looking to book their place in a seventh semi-final in 11 campaigns. They reached this stage with a 2-0 home win against Galatasaray AŞ, securing a 3-1 aggregate success. • Chelsea won their group for the eighth time (they have finished second on three occasions). They lost home and away against FC Basel 1893 but won their four other fixtures without conceding a goal, beating FC Steaua Bucureşti 4-0 away and 1-0 at home and FC Schalke 04 3-0 home and away. • Mourinho, who also captured the UEFA Champions League with Inter (2010), is bidding to become the first manager to win the European Cup with three different teams. Only Bob Paisley (Liverpool FC 1977, 1978, 1981) has won the trophy three times as a coach. 4 Paris Saint-Germain - Chelsea FC Wednesday 2 April 2014 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Parc des Princes, Paris Team ties • Alex made 135 appearances for Chelsea between 2007 and 2012, scoring ten times.

He lost only one of nine Ligue 1 games against Paris, scoring in a 2-1 home win in April 2012. • At LOSC Hazard was a team-mate of Yohan Cabaye and Lucas Digne. • César Azpilicueta played for Marseille between 2010 and 2012, winning only one of his three games against Paris: a 3-0 success in November 2011 in which he helped set up one of the goals.
