Chelsea and Barcelona fought out a tense 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge this evening, to set up a mouth-watering encounter at the Camp Nou next month.
 

Here’s how the players rated in West London:
 

​COURTOIS 7 – A relatively quiet evening, could do nothing about Barcelona’s equaliser

​RUDIGER 6 – Solid show for most of the game but was lucky not to concede a penalty when bringing down Suarez

CHRISTENSEN 6 – Not his best night in a Chelsea shirt and made a huge error for Barcelona equaliser

​AZPILCUETA 7 – Gets better with every game and was once again a rock at the back.

​KANTE 6.5 – Tough night in midfield but a solid enough performance

​FABREGAS 5.5 – Another disappointing show from the Spaniard who failed to make an impact offensively before being substituted

(DRINKWATER n/a)
 

MOSES 6.5 – Another consistent performance in a difficult midfield role

​ALONSO 5 – Struggled to make an impact after returning from injury

HAZARD 6 – A couple of good first-half efforts but faded in the second 45

​WILLIAN 8 – Chelsea’s star performer on the night capped off with a great opening goal

PEDRO 6 – Largely anonymous in attack before being replaced by Morata

(MORATA 6 – Failed to make any impact after coming on late in the game)

 

BARCELONA:

​TER STEGEN 6.5 – Saved by the woodwork twice before Willian finally gave the home side the lead. 

ALBA 6.5 – A busy night in defence but a consistent showing over 90 minutes

​SERGI ROBERTO 6.5 – Took time to adjust to the game but was comfortable once he did

​UMTITI 6.5 – Still learning his trade but growing in confidence with every game

PIQUE 6.5 – His experience was another key factor this evening

​BUSQUETS 6 – On the periphery in the first-half but still displayed moments of quality

​PAULINHO 5.5 – Missed a gilt-edged chance in the first-half and failed to improve in the second

(ALEIX VIDAL 6 – Brought on to steady the Barcelona ship)

​INIESTA 7 – Another majestic performance from the veteran before being taken off near the end of the game

(ANDRE GOMES n/a)

RAKITIC 6 – Struggled to win the midfield duel with Kante and Moses

​MESSI 7 – Finally broke his scoring duck against Chelsea and was once again at the heart of all Barcelona’s good work

SUAREZ 6 – A fairly quiet evening although unlucky not to be awarded a penalty in the second-half
