The Champions League round-of-16 second-leg clash between Chelsea FC and Paris Saint-Germain (0-3) attracted 1.53 million viewers on Canal+ Foot Tuesday evening, capturing an 8.4% audience share, according to Médiamétrie figures reported by L’Équipe.
While this was slightly below the first-leg audience — PSG’s 5-2 win at home on March 11 drew 1.79 million viewers on the main Canal+ channel — it reflects solid interest given the match aired on the narrower Canal+ Foot platform.
PSG’s personal Champions League viewership record this season remains the 1-2 loss at FC Barcelona on October 1, which drew 1.88 million viewers.
Across all matchups, the highest-rated Champions League broadcast on Canal+ this season remains Real Madrid vs Olympique de Marseille (2-1) from September 16, with 2.01 million viewers tuning in.
The numbers underline PSG’s continued pull in European competitions and the consistent appetite for elite football in France, even when coverage shifts to a premium channel.
