Both legs of PSG’s playoff tie against Monaco produced at least nine corners, with PSG registering eight corners in each match. That trend holds up more broadly under Luis Enrique - seven of PSG’s 10 Champions League fixtures this term have featured nine or more total corners.
On home soil in Europe this season, PSG have earned 33 corners across five matches, averaging 6.60 per game. Chelsea, for their part, are averaging exactly four corners per game on their Champions League travels this season and under Liam Rosenior, they’ve looked especially vulnerable from set pieces.
Rosenior has now overseen 15 matches as Chelsea boss, with 12 of those games (80%) seeing nine or more corners. Opponents are clearly targeting Chelsea from dead-ball situations, and PSG have both the quality and territorial control to do the same.
That said, Chelsea pose a threat from such scenarios too - six of their 17 Champions League goals this season have come from penalties or set pieces, and they managed to rack up 10 corners in a recent away trip to Arsenal.
