M. Verratti: "Chelsea" aims to save their season

"Paris Saint-Germain" defender Marco Verratti ahead of the UEFA Champions League clash with London's "Chelsea" insisted that the "aristocrats" will seek to save their season, so the Parisians may face difficulties. The strongest team in France will meet last season's Premier League champions in the quarter-finals of the tournament. However, this year the situation is completely different - while PSG enjoys a lead of 24 points over the closest pursuer "Monaco" in the local championships, "Chelsea" in England occupies only twelfth place. "Chelsea" will want to save their season," Verratti told the official PSG website. "It is true that Chelsea has good players, but they are not the favorites straight away." "We have been awaiting these clashes for a long time. Tomorrow's match will be crucial. Although the winner will be decided in two matches, tomorrow is very important." "Thanks to our recent results, we have gained a lot of confidence, so we are preparing for this match with a positive attitude." The PSG and Chelsea clash in Paris will begin at 9:45 p.m. Lithuanian time.
