Chelsea Collapses Late vs. PSG

Chelsea's goalkeeper, Filip Jörgensen, had a costly error in the 74th minute, contributing to the team's late-game struggles. Jörgensen's pass was intercepted, leading to PSG's third goal. PSG's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia capitalized on Chelsea's defensive lapses, scoring two late goals. He scored in the 86th and 93rd minutes, sealing the 5-2 victory for PSG. Chelsea twice equalized, with goals from Malo Gusto and Enzo Fernández. However, they couldn't maintain the momentum against PSG's stacked attack.
