We will play Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter- finals of this seasons Champions League with the first leg away from home. The dates of the games are as follows: First leg - Paris St-Germain v Chelsea is on Wednesday 2 April. The second leg - Chelsea v Paris St-Germain at Stamford Bridge is on Tuesday 8 April. The draw was made at UEFA headquarters in Switzerland on Friday morning UK time, and paired us with the French champions whom we played in the group stage in 2004/05 when we won 3-0 away in the Parc de Princes in Jose Mourinho s first Champions League game in charge of Chelsea. John Terry and Didier Drogba with a brace were the scorers. We were already guaranteed top spot before the home game which ended 0-0 draw. Club Chief Execurive Ron Gourlay said: It was always going to be tough when you looked at the teams who were left in the draw. Its a top eight teams, Paris Saint-Germain is a very tough game but well be ready for the first match. Our form is good, weve got a lot of games between now and the end of the season. Were in a good position in the Premier League so we just need to take it one game at a time, try and win every game and see how everybody else does around us. We will treat Paris Saint-Germain with the utmost respect and hopefully we can go there, put on a show for our fans and bring it back to Stamford Bridge. The current PSG side is managed by Laurent Blanc and has former Chelsea defender Alex at the back. Lucas Moura, Edinson Cavani and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is second top scorer in this seasons Champions League with 10 goals, are other well-known players.
