Weston McKennie (RM) – 6.5/10 – McKennie performed the role Cuadrado effectively played in the reverse fixture (marking Chelsea’s left wing-back). Unfortunately, the American was often forced to cover for the Colombian’s defensive incompetence behind him. Thus, his task was an impossible one, but he was Juve’s best outfielder on the night. McKennie was combative, worked his socks off and added some bite out of possession. Forget about his work for Chelsea’s fourth, the game was done.

Rodrigo Bentancur (CM) – 3/10 – Never looked comfortable on his return to the XI. His technical security and inability to play under pressure remain distinct flaws, and Chelsea feasted on him tonight. Bentancur offered little at both ends of the pitch. Sadly, his wayward strike from distance was one of Juve’s better efforts on the night.

Manuel Locatelli (CM) – 6/10 – Certainly another of Juve’s better performers before he was brought off, likely as protection, with over 20 minutes to go. Locatelli was the only Bianconeri player who appeared relatively comfortable in the face of Chelsea pressure and he produced one or two impressive defensive moments in the first half.

Adrien Rabiot (CM) – 2/10 – Oh, Rabiot. Rabiot. Rabiot. Rabiot. I really thought you might’ve turned a corner. What a shame, the rating speaks for itself.

Federico Chiesa (LM) – 4/10 – Juve needed a heroic performance from Chiesa if they were to snatch anything at the Bridge, but they were never going to get it. The Italian was stifled from the outset, mainly due to his side’s own incompetence and Allegri’s plan.
