Man marking

Barcelona (4-4-2)

6 Marc-andre ter Stegen

Stood firm for Alonso’s early effort, although he was well beaten for the Spaniard’s free kick that struck the post.

7 Ivan Rakitic

Covered the ground that Busquets and Iniesta did not, and played those quick, short passes on which Messi thrives.

6 Sergi Roberto

A steady presence with the ball but in defence he looked frightened by Chelsea’s pace. Booked for a foul on Hazard.

6 Sergio Busquets

Removed after an hour with a knock. Not as dominant as he was at Stamford Bridge, but still brings an air of calm.

6 Gerard Pique

Did not enjoy the physical battle with Giroud but still did the dirty work needed, particularly with a lunging block on Alonso.

6 Andres Iniesta

Typically composed in possession but clearly not fully fit. Barely needed to break into a run before he was substituted.

7 Samuel Umtiti

Strong in dealing with Giroud, and showed all the class that one would expect. Used his speed to cover.

9 Lionel Messi

Scored two, made the other. Simply put, he is operating on a different level. This was his party. He did what he wanted.

6 Jordi Alba

The lurking presence of Willian prevented him from being quite as adventurous as usual. Cannot be faulted for defensive work.

7 Luis Suarez

His understanding with Messi created the first and third, while an intelligent run allowed Dembele to score the second.

8 Ousmane Dembele

Produced a stunning finish for his first Barca goal. Stretched the Chelsea defence and baffled them with scintillating tricks. Substitutions Paulinho (Iniesta 55) 7, Andre Gomes (Busquets 60) 6, Aleix Vidal (Dembele 66) 6.

Not used Jasper Cillessen (g), Francisco Alcácer, Lucas Digne, Thomas Vermaelen. Booked Sergi Roberto.
