Roy Keane reacts to Chelsea's 2-1 loss to PSG

While much has changed in the year that has elapsed, most notably with Guus Hiddink succeeding Jose Mourino as Chelsea manager on an interim basis, Blanc is hopeful that last year's breakthrough success will strengthen his players' conviction that they can emerge victorious again. Diego Costa will look to torment the away backline on his return to the team, while the set-pieces that Willian puts into the penalty area have the potential to be key in deciding the outcome.

This is the third time PSG and Chelsea have met in the UEFA Champions League knock-out rounds, and it could be argued that this fixture last season was when the flaws in Mourinho's tactics became evident.

This underscores the effect of the Qatari oil money rushing into the club in 2012 and flooding what was once a competitive French league with PSG's dominance.

Away goals had separated the sides in the last two seasons - Chelsea won the quarter-final tie in 2014, but were defeated at the last-16 stage in 2015 - and John Obi Mikel's strike on February 16 at Parc des Princes gave Chelsea a fighting chance.

Cruz And Sanders Win Big On Super Saturday
Republicans are also holding caucuses in ME and Kentucky , while Democrats are caucusing in Nebraska as well as Kansas. Texas Senator Ted Cruz , 45, follows Trump with 300 delegates and Florida Senator Marco Rubio , 44, with 151 delegates.

Diego Costa scored for Chelsea F.C.in their 2-1 defeat.

He was on form at Stamford Bridge, setting up his side's first goal and scoring its second to secure a 2-1 victory on the night and a 4-2 win on aggregate. Twelve months earlier the late intervention of Demba Ba saw Chelsea advance to the semi-finals. "They have to see how to go on and try to regain the lost terrain where Chelsea used to be", Hiddink told reporters. "We're happy at the moment but we're not satisfied, so hopefully we can continue".

Costa was a constant menace and the Spain forward nearly created a second in first-half stoppage time when his shot was fumbled by Trapp, only for Pedro to fail to convert the loose ball. When you analyse the game we started too respectfully.

Absolutely fantastic from the Chelsea hitman, as he brilliantly wrong-footed Thiago Silva to score Chelsea's first.

Trump wins Miss. and Mich., Cruz takes Idaho in GOP race
Numerous group's members had been Jeb Bush backers, but shifted to Rubio when Bush ended his campaign. GOP Chair Rick Bennett says thousands of people have registered to vote in the last few months alone.

On the booing of Hazard, Hiddink said: "Yes, they had the right to do what they think".

Hiddink will bring back a couple of his big guns for this one having rested them for their last two outings against Norwich City and Stoke City, where the team still managed to take four points. I must pay respect for him, he desperately wanted to play.

But while the Swede was majestic, Chelsea's star players were scythed down by injury, with Costa and Hazard limping off in the second half, seemingly now doubtful for the FA Cup sixth-round tie at Everton on Saturday.
