Alphonso Davies was outstanding for Bayern while it was a tough night for Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rüdiger

Chelsea

Willy Caballero 7 Veteran keeper twice blocked well from Lewandowski and was steady throughout. No chance to prevent goals.

César Azpilicueta 6 Seemed to have Bayern’s front line under control until costly slip put door ajar for the opening goal.

Andreas Christensen 5 Man in the mask had performed doggedly until rash missed tackle on Davies led to Bayern racing out of sight.

Antonio Rüdiger 5 Like the rest of Chelsea’s back line, pulled apart after the break by opponents who were just too good.

Reece James 6 Few chances to pick out Giroud or Abraham with his trademark deliveries; pinned back by threat of Bayern wingers.

Jorginho 6 Mopped up tidily for the majority but his booking heightens Chelsea’s midfield issues for the second leg.

Mateo Kovacic 7 Found some pockets of space beyond Bayern’s midfield but front line could not capitalise on some dangerous slide-rule passes.

Marcos Alonso 5 Denied by Neuer before half-time in rare foray into Bayern box, but idiotic red card only makes a near-impossible job harder.

Mason Mount 7 Intelligent performance from Chelsea’s likeliest source of a goal. Took aim several times and almost punished one poor Neuer clearance.

Ross Barkley 5 Found it hard to contribute in possession on a night when off-the-ball discipline was paramount. Replaced after the hour.

Olivier Giroud 6 Won headers and buffeted Bayern’s centre-backs, but largely in harmless positions, before departing for Abraham.

Bayern Munich

Manuel Neuer 7 Save from Alonso’s angled shot in first half now looks crucial. Couple of miscues but far from his busiest night.

Benjamin Pavard 7 Effective rather than spectacular, keeping possession well and always on hand to support the attacking players.

Jérôme Boateng 7 Enjoyed robust contest with Giroud and then, faced with the trickier Abraham, preserved clean sheet with outstanding tackle late on.

David Alaba 7 Would have been targeted as potential prey for Giroud but Chelsea were unable to expose his lack of height.

Alphonso Davies 9 Scintillating left-back talent showed defensive awareness early on before cutting loose in second half to superbly assist Lewandowski.

Thiago Alcântara 8 Took control of midfield as the game progressed. Showed class with shimmy and pass in buildup to opener.

Joshua Kimmich 7 Sent flying by early Giroud challenge but settled down to show class; a perfect foil for Thiago.

Kingsley Coman 6 Fired wide when well placed early on; relatively quiet thereafter before hobbling away from the scene.

Thomas Müller 8 Strong, purposeful and incisive from No 10 position. Hit bar, created chance for Coman and shot a whisker wide.

Serge Gnabry 9 Loves playing and scoring in London. Relatively quiet in first half but lethal second may have clinched the tie.

Robert Lewandowski 9 Master goalscorer showed his generous side to twice set Gnabry up beautifully, before adding poacher’s strike of his own.
