Chelsea battled to a 1-1 draw at Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.
PSG were on the front foot for much of the first half, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani asking questions of Thibaut Courtois in the Chelsea goal, but it was Jose Mourinho's men who broke the deadlock on 36 minutes.
John Terry put in a cross, Gary Cahill provided a neat flick-on, and Branislav Ivanovic headed home to give the visitors an away goal.
However, less than 10 minutes into the second half, it was 1-1, with Cavani allowed the space to head home Blaise Matuidi's cross.
PSG continued to press as Chelsea struggled to assert themselves at the Parc des Princes, and the Premier League side had to ride their luck at times as they spent long periods on the back foot, but Ivanovic's header ensured they will have a draw -- and an away goal -- to take back to Stamford Bridge for the second leg.
It was a tough game but then chelsea did not play to my expectation , But thank God we had a draw and not a loose .
