Chelsea progressed to the semi-finals of the Champions League despite a 1-0 defeat in the second leg of their quarter-final against Porto.
The Blues went through 2-1 on aggregate.
Here’s how James Robson assessed the Chelsea players on Tuesday night…
Edouard Mendy 6
One error in the first half had hearts in mouths, but was down well to save from Taremi. Well-protected by those in front him.
Cesar Azpilicueta 7
One of the standout players of the first leg and in total control again here.
Thiago Silva 7
A very comfortable night after so little action in recent weeks. Porto had plenty of the ball – but found precious little space behind the Brazilian.
Toni Rudiger 7
Part of a very solid Chelsea rear-guard that was rarely stretched by a Porto side lacking in imagination.
Reece James 6
Wicked cross was so close to reaching the run of Pulisic. Defensively kept Porto at bay.
Jorginho 8
So calm in the face of Porto pressure. His assuredness on the ball got Chelsea out of trouble on a number of occasions as the Portuguese side pressed.
N’Golo Kante 8
Early tackle on Grujic summed up his game. His ball-winning and driving runs frequently broke up Porto’s attempts to get control of the game.
Ben Chilwell 7
Vital block from Grujic shot, but caught out by Corona, who blasted over with only the keeper to beat. Attacking runs were one of Chelsea’s biggest threats.
Mason Mount 6
One of his quieter nights, yet no shortage of work-rate. Kept trying to find space to hurt Porto.
Kai Havertz 6
Nothing like the attacking threat he posed against Crystal Palace and it remains to be seen if he is the answer in the centre – but a really hard-working performance where he defended from the front.
Christian Pulisic 7
Some bright moments going forward and should have done better when presented with a second half chance from close range.
Hakim Ziyech (Mount, 86’) N/A
Olivier Giroud (Havertz, 90+2’) N/A
Substitutes not used: Caballero, Kepa, Christensen, Zouma, Alonso, Emerson, Hudson-Odoi, Abraham, Werner.
