The Chelsea goalkeeper was largely untested for most of the game but was powerless to stop Real Madrid's equalizer.


Ben Chilwell - 6.5/10

The Chelsea wing-back was responsible for pushing attacks down the left flank and effectively discharged his duties. He was, however, let down by poor decision-making on occasion.


Thiago Silva - 6.5/10

Silva was an immense presence at the heart of the Chelsea defense and brought his experience to the fore to help keep the Real Madrid attack at bay.

Andreas Christensen - 7/10

Christensen made three interceptions and three clearances against Real Madrid.


Antonio Rudiger - 7.5/10

The Germany international's technique was on display for Pulisic's opener. He also proved his mettle in defense.


Cesar Azpilicueta - 6.5/10

The Chelsea captain adapted despite playing in an unfamiliar role at wing-back. He made three tackles and two interceptions against Real Madrid.

N'Golo Kante - 9/10

N'Golo Kante was back to his brilliant best and covered practically every blade of grass for Chelsea. The France international put in a good shift in both defense and attack and was deservedly named Man of the Match.


Jorginho - 7/10

Jorginho played a key role in helping Chelsea control the game, particularly in the first half from the base of midfield.


Mason Mount - 6.5/10

Mount gave an energetic display for Chelsea and ended the night with a pass accuracy of 96%. He also put in a significant shift in his defensive duties.


Timo Werner - 5.5/10

Werner's struggles in front of goal continued as he missed a gilt-edged chance in the 10th minute. His positioning and control deserted him for the rest of the game before his substitution.


Christian Pulisic - 7/10

The 22-year-old showed great technique to score the opener for Chelsea and was full of energy for the rest of his time on the field.


Substitutes

Kai Havertz - 6/10

Havertz's introduction helped add mobility to the Chelsea attack.


Hakim Ziyech - 7/10

Ziyech came on in the 66th minute with a point to prove and ended the game with two of Chelsea's five shots on target.


Reece James - 6/10

Reece James came on for Azpilicueta in the 86th minute to add extra steel in defense, and he did his job effectively.
