Chelsea boss Hiddink admits he envies PSG squad

Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink has revealed that he is envious of the talent available for Paris Saint-Germain manager Laurent Blanc to choose from.

Chelsea suffered a 2-1 defeat in the first leg of the Round of 16 Champions League encounter against PSG at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday night.

Substitute Edinson Cavani grabbed a late goal to break Chelsea's heart and following the game, Blues boss Hiddink admitted that he was envious of the quality players PSG have at their disposal.

The Dutchman said: "But I have to say I envy the bench of PSG: a very strong bench, and a squad of 15 or 16 international players, which is very good.

"If you see what this team can bring on in the second half, world-class players as substitutes.

"This is a very strong PSG side, a very well built team given their total squad."
