Barcelona v Chelsea: player ratings Xavi Hernandez The ultimate midfield conductor. Rarely conceded possession with his usual wonderful array of passing but, as at Stamford Bridge, could be accused of lacking incision with his final ball. Sergio Busquets Missed an outstanding last-minute chance to equalise at Stamford Bridge but remained calm last night to put Barcelona ahead with what was only his second goal in two years. Cesc Fabregas Constantly pushed into dangerous positions across Chelsea's back four. Produced a fantastic backheel to split the defence for Messi although went down easily to win Barcelona's penalty. Andres Iniesta Another who missed chances during the first leg but was more clinical last night, notably in exploiting the holes in Chelsea's defence to put Barcelona into a two-goal lead. Isaac Cuenco A slightly surprising selection to the right of Barcelona's front three and drifted into dangerous positions all over the pitch. Found space behind Bosingwa to calmly provide assist for Busquets" goal. Lionel Messi A persistent threat but unusually profligate in front of goal. Shot an early chance into the side-netting, forced a good save from Cech, hit the post and smashed his penalty into the cross-bar. Alexis Sanchez Fabulous interchange with Messi after three minutes to split Chelsea's defence and also began the slick passing move that ended with Iniesta putting Barcelona 2-0 ahead. Subs: Dani Alves was a surprise selection on the bench and offered his usual attacking threat after being forced on following Pique's injury. Tello and Keita also came on but Barcelona continue to miss David Villa and eventually ran out of ideas. Petr Cech Outstanding under a barrage of Barcelona pressure. Made brilliant saves to deny Messi and Cuenca. Was also constantly alert to come off his line and intercept dangerous balls forward. Branislav Ivanovic Marshalled the defence admirably in the absence of Cahill and then Terry. Made an eye-catching block to deny Iniesta but did also wastefully head wide when Chelsea forced a second-half corner. Will miss final after he was cautioned. Gary Cahill Outstanding in the first leg but went down clutching his left hamstring after just six minutes when he was wrong-footed by Sanchez. Tried to continue but forced off in the 12th minute. John Terry Began where he left off last week with a series of important blocks but then, inexplicably, lost his discipline and was sent off for a knee into the back of Sanchez. Will now miss the final. Ashley Cole Began adventurously by trying to exploit Barcelona's narrow formation but, with Chelsea camped inside their own half, produced another performance to enhance his claim as the world's best left-back. Juan Mata Shares an international dressing-room with much of the Barcelona team and, while unable to demonstrate his own technical skills, was again effective in restricting space to Fabregas and Iniesta. Raul Meireles Played almost the entire game in front of the Chelsea defence and, although sometimes wasteful with his passing, showed exceptional intelligence to restrict space to Messi. Cautioned so will miss the final. John-Obi Mikel Also spent most of the match camped in front of the back four. Unable to get on the ball to alleviate the pressure but a huge physical presence in denying Barcelona space. Frank Lampard Another superbly disciplined defensive performance and, just as in the first leg, it was also his vision on the counter-attack that began the move for Chelsea's goal. Ramires Began the game on the left and constantly got back to assist Cole. Was then moved to right-back and defended heroically, while also bursting forward to finish brilliantly for Chelsea's goal. Cautioned and will therefore miss the final. Didier Drogba His strength was again crucial to Chelsea at both ends of the pitch. Held the ball up superbly and, although his tackle was somewhat rash, was unfortunate to concede a penalty. Subs: Jose Bosingwa was forced on to cover for Cahill and grew in stature after moving from right-back into central defence following Terry's dismissal. Salomon Kalou and Fernando Torres also came on, with Torres memorably sealing victory in the dying seconds.
