You can’t accuse Paris Saint-Germain of lacking confidence.
The French champions-elect hold a slender 2-1 lead going into the second leg of their Champions League last 16 clash with Chelsea, but they feel they have the tools to make short work of their English opponents.
Laurent Blanc’s side beat the London club over two legs last season, so they have every right to feel they have the upper hand, but why they’ve produced this bizarre photoshop based on Netflix show House of Cards is anyone’s guess.

It’s anyone’s guess why they went down this route ahead of Chelsea’s return leg.
Are they just big Kevin Spacey fans, excited about the show’s return? Did they just want to reemphasise that the French spell Fran(c)k with a needless extra letter? Who knows.
In fact, there’s no guarantee it’s even aimed at Chelsea – perhaps they just wanted to give themselves a collective pat on the back for just being great.
All we know is they’re potentially setting themselves up for a fall on Wednesday.
