England's European ambassadors get away with too much, too often

Paris Saint Germain's Champions League win over Chelsea indicates that sterling work in England no longer converts into strong European currency.

The away goals triumph may represent something of a breakthrough night for the French side – breathing new life into a project that looked to have lost a little direction.

The same could be said for besieged manager Laurent Blanc, with rumours circulating that his job could well have been on the line had the Parisians fallen in West London. In the end, it’s the Chelsea project that will come under the microscope.
