Donyell Malen (Haller, 76’) - N/A: Worked hard to cause problems in attack but was starved of opportunities.
Getty; Jamie Bynoe-Gittens (Ozcan, 63’) - 6: Couldn’t really grow into the game when his side were desperate to get back into the tie.
CHELSEA PLAYER RATINGS: Kepa Arrizabalaga - 7: Did superbly to keep out Reus’s first-half free-kick attempt. Other than that, Dortmund didn’t really ask much of the Spaniard. AFP
Reece James - 8: Looked dynamic driving forward down the right wing and linked up well with Sterling. A welcome return after his injury. Getty
Marc Cucurella - 8: The defender’s passing from deep was fantastic, and he looked comfortable playing in a three. His aggressiveness when intercepting was well-executed. PA
Kalidou Koulibaly - 7: Looked reassured at the back and kept Dortmund’s attacking talent at bay. Reuters
Wesley Fofana - 7: Appeared calm at the back and didn’t let the occasion get to him. Solid outing. AP
Ben Chilwell - 8: Looked threatening going forward down the left and provided quality deliveries into the box, one of which found Sterling for his goal. Won the penalty for Chelsea’s second. Reuters
Enzo Fernandez - 7: Worked hard in the centre of midfield and covered plenty of ground. A gritty but impressive performance from the record signing. Reuters
Mateo Kovacic - 8: Constantly looked to play forward-thinking passes, rarely put a foot wrong. A performance worthy of the armband. Reuters
Raheem Sterling - 7: Kept knocking on the Dortmund door in the first half and was eventually rewarded when he broke the deadlock with a neat finish. Cooled off slightly in the second period. Getty
Kai Havertz - 8: Constant movement and energy up top, which caused Dortmund problems. Showed composure to score his penalty at the second time of asking after his missed first attempt had to be retaken. Getty
Joao Felix - 8: An influential figure going forward for Chelsea, driving at the opponent’s back line with purpose and adding some neat passes and dribbles. Drifted out of the game in the second half before being subbed. Reuters
SUBS: Conor Gallagher (Félix, 67’) - 6: A typical Gallagher cameo that saw plenty of energy. Slotted into the midfield nicely. Reuters
Christian Pulisic (Kovačić, 82’) - N/A: Came on looking to finish off his former club but Dortmund were mostly in possession as they searched for a goal. AFP;
Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Sterling, 82’) - N/A: Didn’t have much time to affect the game in his usual ways but made some important clearances late on;
Denis Zakaria (Fernández, 87’) - N/A: His physicality provided a massive boost in his side’s hopes of holding on to the clean sheet.
BORUSSIA DORTMUND RATINGS: Alexander Meyer - 5: Was forced into making several important saves in the first half as Chelsea came out firing. Couldn’t do much for either goal. EPA
Marius Wolf - 4: Looked shaky at times with Felix and Chilwell coming at him. Gave a penalty away by handling the ball in the box. Reuters
Nico Schlotterbeck - 5: Did OK defensively but made the occasional sloppy pass due to the home side’s constant pressing. Reuters
Niklas Sule - 4: Struggled with the pace of Chelsea’s forward players, looked uncomfortable when he was forced to turn back to goal. AP
Raphaël Guerreiro - 6: Found it difficult defensively dealing with the physicality of James. Provided plenty of energy going forward with some decent deliveries. Getty
Emre Can - 6: Acted as a third central defender at times when dropping deep, provided good cover for his backline. Sloppy on the ball at times. PA
Julian Brandt - N/A: Was taken off just minutes after kick-off with what looked to be a hamstring injury. A big loss. Reuters
Salih Ozcan - 5: Made some vital challenges during Chelsea’s constant waves of pressure in the first half. Taken off during the second half when his side needed more attacking options on the pitch. Getty
Jude Bellingham - 7: Perhaps didn’t see the ball as much as he would have liked, but always looked bright in midfield and going forward. Dortmund’s most influential player. Getty
Marco Reus - 5. Almost broke the deadlock with a fine free-kick attempt but that somehow palmed away by Arrizabalga. Getty
Sebastien Haller - 4: Worked hard to be a focal point for his side but struggled to grow into the game. Getty
SUBS: Giovanni Reyna (Brandt, 4’) - 6: Was brought on much earlier than he would have anticipated but grew into the game quickly. Looked threatening when on the ball. Reuters
