Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas is adamant his side will not play defensive against Paris Saint Germain in Wednesday’s last-16 Champions League tie.

The Blues hold a slight advantage heading into the decisive game, having earned a 1-1 draw at Parc des Princes on February 17, in which Branislav Ivanovic scored a vital away goal.

Fabregas, insists he and his team-mates will now hold that slight advantage in much regard though, as they look to seal their progression to the next stage.

“We want to go through,” he told reporters on Tuesday. “We have to make it happen. We will not sit back and wait for them to come.

“We will try and create opportunities to score. They’re a fantastic side.”

Chelsea, who recently won the League Cup, are still on course for a treble this season, sitting top of the Premier League, but the former Barcelona midfielder believes that his side must be more dangerous.

“This is the thing: if I have to say what we’re missing a bit this season, it’s that moment when, if we can kill, we have to kill,” he added. “There have been moments where we’ve not done that and allowed other players to push and be dangerous.

“We have to be more determined, especially when we go forward. When we get one goal, we have to go for the second and third. That’s the only thing we can really improve.

“Hopefully we will have that killer instinct [against PSG] and go for the game from the first second.”
