Chelsea player ratings vs Real Madrid: Reece James deserves better than goal-shy Blues

Chelsea's Champions League journey is over for another season, the Blues crashing out at the quarter-final stage to Real Madrid for the second successive campaign following a 2-0 defeat (4-0 on aggregate) on Tuesday.

Trailing 2-0 from the first leg, Frank Lampard's side gave it a good go, and missed some huge chances in the first half through N'Golo Kante and Marc Cucurella.

Kante wasted another big opportunity early in the second period before they were hit by a sucker punch from Rodrygo, who fired in from close range after sparking a counter-attack himself.
