Chelsea chief insists PSG tie holds ‘no fear’ for the club
Chelsea’s Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain ‘holds no fear’ for the club, according to director of football David Barnard.
Liam Rosenior’s side have been drawn to face holders PSG in the Round of 16, following Friday’s draw. The French side secured Champions League success for the first time last season, thrashing Inter Milan 5-0 in a record-breaking final scoreline.
However, Luis Enrique’s side have not looked as formidable during the current campaign and required a play-off win over Monaco to reach the last 16.
Chelsea also thrashed PSG during the summer’s Club World Cup final, beating the European champions 3-0 in the USA.
Barnard believes Chelsea will have no fear about taking on the Parisians again in a huge Champions League contest.
“PSG, we’ve played them quite a few times,” he reflected on the draw.
“They are the reigning champions but people will probably refer to what happened in the summer at the Club World Cup. It’ll be tough but it holds no fear for us.
“You can look at the bracket but you can’t take things for granted.”
