Sagna warns PSG of what it’s like to play at the Bridge.
Chelsea have received support from an unlikely source ahead of their Champions League quarter-final second-leg with Paris Saint-German, as Arsenal’s Bacary Sagna speaks out.
The Frenchman has sent a word of warning to PSG about what it’s like to play at Stamford Bridge, as the Ligue 1 champions arrive in west London with a 3-1 lead from the first-leg.

“It’s an intimidating stadium,” Sagna was quoted by Goal.
“It is a small pitch and the fans are very close to the pitch.
“There is a lot of intimidation and agitation. You really hear the chants and whistles. There are not many people, but they sound like they were doubled.”
The Blues have a tough task on their hands to turn over the aggregate score against the French champions, after a relatively poor performance at the Parc des Princes last week.
An opener in Paris for Ezequiel Lavezzi was cancelled out by an Eden Hazard penalty, before a David Luiz own goal and a late strike from Javier Pastore put the hoists firmly in control.
It’s not often that the Gunners send support to their London rivals and so PSG should probably heed the warning from Sagna ahead of the game in the English capital.
Jose Mourinho does have a good record in this competition, but with a lack of decent strikers at the club this term could find scoring the two goals required difficult.
