Chelsea seeks Napoli repeat in PSG rescue bid

Chelsea will hope to draw inspiration from its 2012 Champions League triumph when it attempts to overturn a 3-1 deficit in its quarterfinal against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.
Javier Pastore's 90th-minute solo goal in last week's first leg at Parc des Princes gave PSG a two-goal advantage that puts it firmly in control of the tie ahead of the second leg at Stamford Bridge.
Only 24 percent of the teams to have lost 3-1 in the away leg of a UEFA tie since 1970 have gone on to reach the next round, but Chelsea can take heart from the fact it pulled off just such a feat two years ago.
