AC Milan 0-2 Chelsea: Blues UCL player ratings
1. Kepa Arrizabalaga of Chelsea (Goalkeeper): 7/10
Kepa Arrizabalaga had nothing to do throughout the game as Chelsea dominated the
game and Milan did not manage to create any clear-cut chances, only taking a shot on
target towards the dying moments of the game. Another solid outing from the
Spanish goalkeeper who now seems to be the preferred goalkeeper to Graham
Potter.
2. Thiago Silva (Centerback): 8/10
The Brazilian veteran was as always solid in his game, making his 100th appearance in
the Champions League against his former side. His senior figure is exactly what
Chelsea needed in the backline in such a crucial match.
3. Trevoh Chalobah (Centerback): 7/10
Trevoh Chalobah had the difficult task of handling AC Milan’s main attacking threat,
Rafael Leao. For most parts of the game, the English defender did well but
sometimes got himself in danger too. All in all, a decent performance to secure the
clean sheet.
4. Kalidou Koulibaly (Centerback): 8/10
Kalidou Koulibaly seemed very comfortable on the pitch, being at the right place at
the right time, and even did well in tackling when the Italian side was on the break
helping the likes of Chalobah and James in defending.
5. Reece James (Right Wingback): 7/10
Just like last week, Chelsea’s right side of defense was tasked with dealing with AC
Milan’s most dangerous attacker Rafael Leao and again the West London side came
out on top with Reece James eliminating his threat. The England international was
dangerous with his deliveries in the box but a concerning site for CFC as he came
off injured for Cesar Azpilicueta in the 62nd minute.
