PARIS, March 9 (Reuters) - Paris St Germain were knocked out in the Champions League last 16 for the fifth time in 12 seasons under big-spending owners Qatar Sport Investment (QSI) and it came as no surprise given the lack of a club culture at the French capital club.
Despite their best efforts, Paris Saint-Germain were knocked out of the UEFA Champions League by Bayern Munich on Wednesday. There was a tremendous atmosphere ahead of what was sure to be a fantastic European battle in Munich.
Their first ever meeting came in the final of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1971, with the initial match being drawn 1-1, before Chelsea ran out 2-1 winners in the decider to triumph.
Real Madrid recorded their first ever win over Chelsea at the Estadio Santiago Bernabu in their eighth meeting between the two teams as the Spanish side ran out the winners in the Champions League quarter-final first leg.
