Chelsea Players
Courtois 7 - Had no chance for both the PSG goals but made good saves and looked solid.
Azpilicueta 6 - Became increasingly frustrated in the second half with failure of Chelsea to press effectively. (Not sure whether at fault for second goal). Did manage to get forward but deliveries let him down. Looked solid defensively.
Ivanovic 7 - Arguably Chelsea's best performance of the night. Very solid defensively and seemed not too troubled by Ibrahimović.
Cahill 6 - Movement of Ibrahimović caused him some problems and was at fault for the first goal. Like Ivanovic was solid otherwise.
Kenedy 6 - Looked comfortable against the pace of Lucas and di Maria. Did not live up to attacking hopes of Hiddink and struggled to have an impact in the final third
Mikel 6 - Collective failure of Chelsea midfield two to back up press of Willian and co. cost the game. Looked good on the ball but failed to make many incisive forward passes. Did offer some defensive stability in front of the back 4.
Fabregas 5 - Like Mikel was very ineffective with his pressing. Coupled with his minimal effect in the final third he struggled to make an impact on the game.
Pedro 5 - Final delivery let him down on multiple occasions and was not very dangerous going forwards. Worked hard defensively
Willian 6 - Worked hard pressing PSG but lack of support from midfield two lead to very little success. Did well for the goal and almost helped another one in the second half. Did not quite hit heights we have seen him do this season though.
Hazard 5 - Struggled to make an impact on the game throughout and came off in the second half through injury. Personally feel some Chelsea fans booing him off was harsh though
Diego Costa 7 - Took his goal very well and made David Luiz and Thiago Silva work to deal with his threat. Didn't have many chances but forced a good save from trapping early on

Bertrand Traore 5 - Worked hard but posed no real threat for Luiz and Silva. Was a level above his at the moment,
PSG players
Trapp 6 - Didn't have a huge amounts to do. Made a good save from costa early on but had a few iffy moments i.e. spilled Costa shot.
Marquinhos 7 - No real attacking threat but dealt with Hazard, Willian and Pedro well.
David Luiz 7 - Had to work hard to deal with Costa but did this very well. Looked solid with a few rash moments but distributed the ball well. Once Costa went off had no trouble stopping pace of Traore.
Thiago Silva 7 - Turned by Costa for first goal but not at fault really. Again like luiz solid and dealt with Costa well.
Maxwell 7 - Another solid performance. Quiet going forward but solid defensively.
Thiago Motta 7 - caught napping for Chelsea goal but otherwise distributed the ball well and provided good defensive cover.
Blaise Matuidi 7 - A workman like performance. Pressed very well with lots of energy. Sometimes lacked some composure further up the pitch but overall was very solid.
Adrien Rabiot 8 - was an adequate stand in for Veratti and PSG didn't miss the Italian. Scored a goal and was very good on the ball. Not as solid defensively but rarely lost the ball and looked like he should be a regular starter for PSG. Standout performer in what was an expert performance from the PSG midfield in pressing and ball retention.
Di Maria 7 - quick feet and had a chance early on. Didn't create a huge amount but passed the ball well and put in a great cross for the second goal. Arguably should have created more considering possession PSG had.
Lucas 6 - quiet performance. Pressed well alongside midfield but was relatively quiet in the final third.
Ibrahimovic 8 - Goal and assist for the Swede. Caused problems with movement and held the ball up well. Strong performance from Zlatan.
