How did Chelsea’s players fare in their 2-1 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain tonight? Here are the ratings for Jose Mourinho’s side…
Petr Cech 6 – Wasn’t particularly at fault for the first two goals but will feel incredibly disappointed to have conceded the late goal at his near post to Javier Pastore.
Branislav Ivanovic 7 – Ivanovic coped well with the threat of the overlapping Maxwell down the left, though had some trouble with the movement of Ezequiel Lavezzi.
Gary Cahill 7 – Stifled the threat of Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the centre of the PSG attack, and also dealt well with Edinson Cavani when he came centrally.
John Terry 5 – Just days after scoring a devastating own goal at Crystal Palace, it wasn’t an improvement for the Blues skipper, whose terrible header allowed Ezequiel Lazevvi to give PSG the lead.
Cesar Azpilicueta 6 – Wasn’t quite as impressive as he has been recently, but Azpilicueta was fairly solid against Cavani down the right hand side before being beaten by Pastore for the third goal.
Ramires 6 – Was lucky to stay on the pitch after an early yellow was followed by a foul, and whilst he had a couple of good drives forward, the Brazilian wasn’t effective enough in possession.
David Luiz 6 – Struggled to cope with PSG’s pace and movement early on but grew into the game in all areas of the field.
Willian 7 – the Brazilian was fairly prominent in Chelsea’s attacks and wasn’t afraid to take on the PSG defence, but couldn’t unlock the door.
Oscar 6 – Won the penalty to give Chelsea a key away goal, but Oscar wasn’t influential enough in the Blues’ attack.
Eden Hazard 8 – Once again felt like Chelsea’s biggest danger man. He calmly converted the penalty as well as hit the post as he posed Christophe Jallet no end of problems.
Andre Schurrle 5 – It didn’t work against Manchester United at the start of the season, and it didn’t work tonight – Schurrle can’t play up front on his own.
Subs:
Fernando Torres 6 – was introduced for Schurrle and posed more of a threat, but not enough to get Chelsea back into the game.
Frank Lampard 6 – beaten too easily for the final goal and didn’t offer much going forward either.
