PLAYER RATINGS: Rodrygo brace to RM win at Chelsea as Chalobah pays for error

  /  autty

Despite putting up a battling performance, Chelsea were dumped out of the Champions League on Tuesday night following a 2-0 defeat by Real Madrid.

It means the Blues lost the quarter-final tie 4-0 on aggregate and condemns them to a fourth straight defeat in all competitions under interim manager Frank Lampard.

Here is how both sets of players rated at Stamford Bridge.

CHELSEA (3-4-1-2)

Kepa Arrizabalaga - Produced two decent saves in the first half to ensure Chelsea hung in with a fighting chance. 6.5

Trevoh Chalobah - It was going well for the central defender until his missed lunge on Rodrygo led to Real’s decisive goal. 5.5

Thiago Silva - Belongs on the biggest stage and looked anything but a 38-year-old in the twilight of his career. 7

Wesley Fofana - Lacked conviction in possession at times and copped an earful from coach Ashley Cole for venturing too far forward in the first half. 6.5

Reece James - All the talk before the game was about how he’d cope with Vini Jr. In reality it was Vini Jr and Camavinga dealing with James for much of the night. 7

Enzo Fernandez - The best is yet to come from the Argentine World Cup winner but it is clear to see why Chelsea paid over £100m for his services. Always available, never hid. 6.5

Mateo Kovacic - Kept things ticking away nicely in Chelsea’s engine room but couldn’t prevent his former club from progressing 6.5

Marc Cucurella - Tentative down Chelsea’s left and squandered a glorious opportunity just before half-time - much to his manager’s frustration. Booked. 6

N'Golo Kante - Deployed in an advanced midfield role, the Frenchman was another who didn’t have his shooting boots on, missing two excellent chances. 6

Conor Gallagher - Bursting with energy and enthusiasm but didn’t impact the game from a attacking perspective in the way he would have wanted. 6.5

Kai Havertz - The only recognised out-and-out attacker in the Chelsea starting XI but couldn’t unlock Madrid’s stubborn defence. 6.5

Subs: Felix 6.5 (Gallagher 65); Sterling 6 (Enzo 65); Mudryk 6 (Cucurella 66); Mount (Havertz 77)

Subs not used: Mendy, Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Mount, Zakaria, Ziyech, Azpilicueta, Chukwuemeka, Hall

Frank Lampard -Should take positives from this performance but it is no four defeats in four games since his return. 6.5

REAL MADRID (4-3-3)

Thibaut Courtois - Booed and abused the entire night - but produced a crucial save to deny Cucurella as the Belgian secured the last laugh. 7

Dani Carvajal - The unsung hero of this Real Madrid side. Solid in defence and more than capable in the attacking third. 7

Eder Militao - A master of the dark arts and the defender put the full repertoire to use here at Stamford Bridge to ease Madrid over the line. 7.5

David Alaba - Lasted just 45 minutes before making way for former Chelsea cult hero Antonio Rudgier, who was afforded a welcome return by fans. 6

Eduardo Camavinga - Played his part in an electric and bruising battle with James down Madrid’s left-hand side - all in an unfamiliar position. What a talent. 7

Fede Valverde - A passenger at times as Chelsea seized control of midfield for large portions of the game. But his discipline was key an assisted Real’s second. 6.5

Toni Kroos - What a footballer this guy is. Pass, pass, pass. Plays the game like he has time to kill. 8

Luka Modric - An uncharacteristic loose pass early on nearly opened the door to Chelsea but the Croat was faultless after that. 7

Rodrygo - Unlocked Chelsea’s resistance in the second half with a searing surge beyond Chalobah before prodding home the mood killer, Added a second for good measure. 8.5

Karim Benzema - The Ballon d’Or winner was strangely subdued but he won’t care too much as he prepares for another Champions League semi final. 6

Vinicius Jr - Put the ball on a plate for Rodrygo to score Real’s crucial goal but was given plenty to think about defensively by James. 7

Subs: Rudiger 6.5 (Alaba 46); Tchouameni (Benzema 71); Ceballos (Kroos 76) Asensio (Rodrygo 81); Nacho (Carvahal 81)

Subs: Lunin, Lopez, Vallejo, Hazard, Asensio, Odriozola, Vazquez, Tchouameni, Ceballos, Rudiger, Diaz

Carlo Ancelotti - The coolest man at Stamford Bridge as he watched his team book yet another place in the Champions League final four. 7.5

Referee: Daniele Orsato - 6
