Chelsea player ratings
Marks out of 10 for Chelsea's Champions League second leg at Bayern Munich.

Chelsea

Petr Cech - 7: Produced superb saves from Claudio Pizarro and Bastian Schweinsteiger, and was unfortunate to concede three goals.


Ricardo Carvalho - 6: Under siege in opening minutes and for a spell late on, but - like his team-mates - did just about enough.


Robert Huth - 5: Uncomfortable playing out of position at right-back, had problems throughout game and almost headed into his own net in second half.


John Terry - 7: Produced a vital block in the area to deny Michael Ballack and was the most assured Chelsea defender, displaying his usual strength at key moments.


William Gallas - 6: Bamboozled by Schweinsteiger during a tough start, the French centre-back appeared unhappy playing on the left.


Joe Cole - 6: Had limited attacking opportunities but he showed his new defensive commitment with some timely tackles in the second half.


Claude Makelele - 6: Was a calming influence at times after a difficult start, but had problems keeping track of Ballack's runs.


Frank Lampard - 7: Failed to get forward as often as he would like, and also had difficulties with Ballack, but his deflected effort opened the scoring.


Damien Duff - 7: Looked energetic in attack and while helping out the defence, he almost scored before Bayern's equaliser and his substitution.


Didier Drogba - 8: STAR MAN. Looked lively throughout, coming in for some rough treatment, and produced a magnificent header for Chelsea's second goal.


Eidur Gudjohnsen - 7: Asked to drop deep to help out the midfielders, he stuck to his task and worked hard, clearing an effort off the line in the second period.


Substitutes

Tiago (Replaced Damien Duff, 71 minutes) - 6: Brought on to nullify Bayern and was efficient enough.


Geremi (Replaced Eidur Gudjohnsen, 88 minutes) - 6: Not enough time to have an impact on game.


Nuno Morais (Replaced Joe Cole, 90 minutes) - 6: Not enough time to have an impact on game.
