Another season, another battle.
Chelsea and PSG will lock horns in the Champions League for the third campaign in a row but it is the war of
words tweets off the field that is gripping the footballing world.
Yet again, the French club are engaging in a bit of light-hearted trolling of their London rivals ahead of what they are trying to coin as The New Classic.
No.
On Tuesday night, the Parisians entertain Guus Hidink's side in the first leg of the Champions League second round and, despite Chelsea trying their damnedest not to get involved this time, the undefeated Ligue 1 side are firing all sorts of shots.
Their 134-second 90-second video recapped last season's tie in which PSG qualified on away goals after extra time at Stamford Bridge. And they took a bit of a sideways look at the drama and characters that emerged from that night in London.

This beef goes way back though.
2013/14
The pair met for the first time in a decade in the Champions League quarter finals and a bit of innocent, innocuous did you know from PSG wasn't responded to kindly by the Premier League club.

Chelsea fired the first shot. And the second shot.

So the Frenchies hit back.

Then, of course, after winning 3-1 in the first leg, they rubbed their enemy's nose in it.

Even Himself got involved.

But Mourinho's men recovered and took the second leg 2-0 to advance on away goals.
The Paris outfit recovered with an debatable classy fair play tweet.
"Congratulations to the English who did not want to leave Europe."

The Chelsea media gurus really didn't know what they let themselves in for with those did you know facts.

And the public weren't appreciating the new-found bond.

The battle of Stamford Bridge swung back and forth. Ibrahimovic got sent off. Chelsea took the lead, PSG equalised.
