The French champions showed the full array of the attacking flair that has put them on the verge of defending their Ligue 1 crown this term to claim a healthy advantage on Wednesday, leaving Chelsea with plenty to do in the return clash at Stamford Bridge next week.
Ezequiel Lavezzi swept in an early half-volley to put the hosts ahead.Chelsea responded well, with the impressive Eden Hazard levelling from the spot after a foul on Oscar.But David Luiz bundled into his own net to restore PSG's lead and, after Edinson Cavani fired wide, Pastore's solo effort swung the tie their way.
The decision to deploy winger Andre Schurrle on his own up front was a sign of Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho's lack of trust in his specialist strikers.If the Portuguese had hoped the formation would stifle PSG as a happy side-effect, he was proved wrong inside five minutes.
