Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic says they've now turned the corner after a dismal first-half of the season.

Following this evening's Premier League game against Newcastle at Stamford Bridge they travel to France to take on Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of our Champions League Round of 16 tie.

"I think we are playing well and if you don't lose in 11 games that means something," Matic told the Chelsea website.

"Of course we are not happy when we look at the league table but if you think about how we started the season and how we are playing now we have to be satisfied. The important thing is to continue like this and have more belief in our qualities.

"After going 1-0 down against Manchester United last week we recovered well to score a late equaliser which shows the spirit in the team, and between now and May we can win a lot of matches. We also have the Champions League and FA Cup coming up, so we can still achieve something this season."
