Uefa Champions League as it happened: Paris Saint-Germain 1-1 Chelsea, Shakhtar Donetsk 0-0 Bayern Munich

PSG have time to take the corner but Chelsea deal with it and that will be that.

FULL TIME

Paris Saint-Germain 1-1 Chelsea

Shakhtar Donetsk 0-0 Bayern Munich

Courtois saves Chelsea again! Pastore swings an exceptional cross into the box from the left that Ibrahimovic meets with a downwards header. It's goalbound, but the Belgian 'keeper gets a palm to it and makes the save.

All PSG in these final few minutes. Again, Matuidi almost battles his way from the left but Chelsea survive again.

Three minutes of normal time remain of the first leg.

Pastore chases down an over hit cross field ball and hooks a cross back across to the far post where Cavani attempts an outrageous scissor kick. It's an awfully difficult one, though, and he can only connect with fresh Parisian air. Van der Wiel retrieves the ball out on the right but he is quickly crowded by blue shirts.

Pastore's first contribution is to curl a hopeful effort well wide of the goal.

Javier Pastore enters the fray to replace Lavezzi. Moments ago Chelsea brought on Juan Cuadrado for his Champions League debut, replacing Willian.

Cavani almost makes it two! On the left-side of the box, Cavani plays a neat one two and jinks past Matic with ease. He tries to toe one into the far corner from a very tight angle but can't find the inside of the post.

Willian has space to run into down the right but is dutifully tracked by his marker and is forced to turn back to Ivanovic. He cuts inside and tries the other route until he is clumsily tripped by Luiz. Chelsea have a free kick, but fail to trouble anyone with it.

And Luiz drives it into the wall. PSG keep it alive however and shift play down the left where Maxwell swings in a delicious cross, but Lavezzi can't quite stretch high enough to connect with a header.

Fabregas, whose looked a bit knackered all game really, catches, Matuidi with a weary-looking challenge about 25 yards out from goal. David Luiz (!) stands over it...

Lavezzi wastes a corner for PSG and van der Wiel follows it up by flinging an aimless ball into the box that Courtois easily collects. It's all gone a bit scrappy, these past five minutes.

It is still goalless in our other game this evening but Bayern Munich are down to 10 men after Xabi Alonso was shown his second yellow of the evening. Not quite the way he thought he'd be celebrating his 100th Champions League game, I bet.

Courtois is forced to palm Luiz's deflected header over the bar from Lavezzi's free kick. PSG get the corner, but it's easy for Courtois.

David Luiz races across to the touchline to block Costa and stick his mush into the face of the Chelsea striker's. Luiz is fishing, Costa could end up biting before the end of the night.

Chelsea hanging on here! Terry does well to clear the danger but then Hazard's stray pass is pounced upon by Matuidi. He leaves it to Ibrahimovic, whose deftly plays a sublime one-two with Lavezzi before driving past Cahill and taking a shot on from inside the area. Courtois stops it, and John Terry is in the way to block Lavezzi's follow up effort off the line!

Van der Wiel swings in another dangerous cross from the right but Terry is there just before Cavani.

Chelsea respond by winning a corner but do little with it ans PSG can counter through Maxwell. They could of, I should say, the Brazilian slips and Ivanovic is across to intercept before David Luiz smashes the ball away from his former teammate.

PSG are level! It's a brilliantly simple goal. Maxwell jogs down the left, slides the ball on for the onrushing Matuidi who sweeps a sublime cross into the box where an unmarked Cavani directs a header into the bottom corner. Easy stuff, but Chelsea's marking was all over the gaff, there.

Goal! PSG 1-1 Chelsea (Edinson Cavani, 54)

Verratti commits two niggly fouls in quick succession. He avoided a booking in the first half, but it won't be much longer before he picks up one in this.

Maxwell cuts in from the left, plays the ball to Verratti and gets it back via a wonderful flick from the Italian. The Brazilian is stopped in his tracks, but Verratti picks the ball up again and tries to jink his way up the byline. He evades one challenge, but takes on one too many and is dispossessed.

And we are back underway for the second half.

HALF TIME

Paris Saint-Germain 0-1 Chelsea

Is Ibrahimovic going to take this? Of course he is. The Swede lashes a straight effort over the wall but it is always rising as it flies over the bar.

Costa loses possession and invites Verratti forward. He neatly flicks the ball away from Matic but has his standing leg clipped by the Serbian. PSG free kick about 20 yards out.

PSG switch play and Lavezzi is picked out on the left. He cuts in menacingly and jinks past Willian into the box, but the Brazilian recovers well while down on the floor to get a foot to block the cross. Ivanovic then strides across to carry the ball clear.

Three Chelsea defenders combine in the final third to give their side the lead! What's all this then? Terry, out on the left, lifts a fairly rubbish cross into the box that Cahill flicks on behind him. Ivanovic, as he does so often for the Blues, reacts quicker than his marker Maxwell and steers one into the far corner.

Goal! Paris Saint-Germain 0-1 Chelsea (Branislav Ivanovic)

Cavani sneaks around Matic and directs a powerful header towards the near post, only for Courtois to get a firm hand behind it to make the save.

Ramires sees his shot charged down and suddenly PSG are on the counter attack with Ibrahimovic leading the charge. Approaching the final third, he prods the ball wide to Lavezzi who clips a hopeful ball into the box. Cavani isn't getting near it, but Azpicueta isn't taking any chances and nods out for a corner.

Fabregas looks to find Terry's late run towards the back post but his curling free kick is punched clear by Sirigu.

Fabregas cleverly flicks the ball back to Hazard but the Belgian is tripped by Verratti on the edge of the box. Chelsea have a free kick in a dangerous position.

Verratti spots the run of van der Wiel in behind Azpilicueta and lifts a wonderful ball over for the Dutchman. Inside the box he attempts a first time pass across to Ibrahimovic but doesn't get enough purchase on the ball and Chelsea can clear.

Ibrahimovic drops deep and wonderfully pulls the ball away from Matic and slides a path into the advancing Cavani. He then lays it off by Matuidi but with options left and right to him, the Frenchman skews a pass behind the run of Maxwell and out for a throw in. What a waste.

Ibrahimovic turns Terry and then tries to beat Courtois from an incredibly tight angle but fires into the side netting. That chance came from a long ball up field. There have been a lot of those in this opening 20 minutes.

Diego Costa, for the second time in two minutes, is warned by the referee for throwing himself about a bit too dangerously. Just before that Ibrahimovic took a shot on from a frankly obscene distance only for it to be charged down.

After that flurry of action, we've slipped back into a slow-paced, cagey contest with not much at all happening.

That has opened the game up a bit as Hazard races into the PSG box down the inside left channel but is eventually crowded out and loses the ball. Ibrahimovic wins the ball and the half way line but can't slip away from Cahill who is penalised for hauling back the Swede. As much as anyone can 'haul back' Ibrahimovic, anyway.

Two saves from Courtois deny PSG! Matuidi races onto a Cavani cross and hammers a header on goal from 12 yards out but Chelsea 'keeper dives to his right to punch clear. PSG soon have the ball back and lift the ball back into the six yard area where Ibrahimovic outleaps Terry, but his header can't beat the Belgian.

Now Lavezzi and van der Wiel combine neatly down the right but the full back wastes his cross, lifting a poor effort in from the right and well over the bar.

Maxwell ventures forward down the left flank and slips the ball into Matuidi who threatens to burst inside but he is marshalled well by Ivanovic.

And PSG get us underway.

While Liverpool's failure to qualify for the knock out stages of the Champions League denied a clean sweep of English sides in the last 16, teams from these shores have traditionally done well in getting there.

• Since the 'Round of 16' was introduced in 2002, 15 different nations have been represented at this stage.
• The Premier League has been represented 40 times since then.
• The Premier League has had six 'clean sweeps' since 2002, meaning all four English sides in the competition have progressed to group stages.
• With the exception of 2011 and 2012 (when there were only two), the Premier League has provided a minimum of three clubs to the knockout stages.
• La Liga comes in second with 38 appearances in the Last 16, Serie A third with 30, Bundesliga fourth with 27.

Chelsea's journey to PSG's Parc de Princes stadium had an eventful conclusion then... I wonder if anyone has made a 'park the bus' joke on Twitter yet?

One more time; those Chelsea and PSG line ups for this evening.

Paris Saint-Germain: Sirigu; van der Wiel, Silva, Marquinhos, Maxwell; David Luiz, Verratti, Matuidi; Lavezzi, Ibrahimovic, Cavani.

Subs: Douchez, Camara, Digne, Kimpembe, Rabiot, Pastore, Bahebeck.

Chelsea: Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry (c), Azpilicueta; Ramires, Matic; Willian, Fabregas, Hazard; Diego Costa.

Subs: Cech, Filipe Luis, Zouma, Oscar, Cuadrado, Drogba, Remy.

Elsewhere this evening, Pep Guardiola has made three changes from the side that demolished Hamburg 8-0 on Saturday. Mendhi Benatia is ruled out with a muscle problem with a not-to-shabby replacement coming in form of Jerome Boateng. Franck Ribery and Xabi Alonso also come into the XI.

There is no space on the bench for that injured trio, either.

PSG subs: Douchez, Camara, Digne, Rabiot, Pastore, Augustin & Bahebeck.

So, from the four PSG players who limped out on Saturday, only Marquinhos starts this evening. Gregory van der Wiel comes in for Serge Aurier at right back, Edinson Cavani for Lucas Moura and David Luiz slipping into midfield for Yohan Cabaye.

Chelsea subs: Cech, Filipe Luis, Zouma, Oscar, Cuadrado, Drogba, Remy

BREAKING: Thibaut Courtois returns in goal for Chelsea while Gary Cahill also returns at centre half.

Chelsea team to face PSG: Courtois; Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill, Azpilicueta; Matic, Ramires; Willian, Fabregas, Hazard; Costa.

BREAKING: Former Chelsea star David Luiz starts in midfield alongside Marco Verratti for PSG. Marquinhos starts at centre half despite Saturday's injury scare.

PSG team to face Chelsea: Sirigu, van der Wiel, Silva, Marquinhos, Maxwell; Luiz, Verratti, Matuidi; Lavezzi, Ibrahimovic, Cavani.

Chelsea have a relatively clean bill of health this evening and are boosted by the return of Diego Costa after his three match suspension. The news is less positive for PSG, however, after four players were forced off injured during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Caen.

Yohan Cabaye, Marquinhos, Serge Aurier and Lucas Moura were all immediately ruled out for tonight's game by Laurent Blanc in Saturday's post match press conference, but Marquinhos could be in line to start after all, with suggestions that David Luiz will start in a defensive midfield role.

It's been two long, cold months since our last fix of mid-week European football but we are back with a bang this evening. One of the ties of the round sees Premier League leaders Chelsea collide with Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain with the Blues hoping to claim something in Paris this evening.

To help them do that will be Diego Costa, who is back from his three-match suspension. Jose Mourinho has already confirmed the striker will start this evening where he is likely come up against David Luiz in the PSG backline.
