Chelsea booked their place in the Champions League quarter-finals after a convincing 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund.
The Blues went through 2-1 on aggregate, after losing the first-leg by a single goal, thanks to strikes from Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz on the night.
There were particularly strong performances from the Chelsea defenders with Ben Chilwell‘s display at left-back particularly impressive.
Dortmund, on the other hand, failed to show the qualities that we’ve come to expect from them in the scintillating Bundesliga performances.
Here, Sportsmail’s SAMI MOKBEL assess all of the players from the mouth-watering clash between Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund.

CHELSEA (343)
Kepa Arrizabalaga – Strong performance in goal from the Spaniard, who ended up with the armband. 7
Wesley Fofana – The kind of performance that reminds you why Chelsea parted with all that money for him in the summer. 7
Kalidou Koulibaly – Looking back to his best in blue after a shaky few months. 7
Marc Cucurella – Worked tirelessly throughout the match and barely put a foot wrong for Graham Potter’s side. 7
Reece James – A constant threat on the right-side and did well to keep Marco Reus quiet on the night. 7.5
Mateo Kovacic – Classy performance from the Croatian, who’s experience in these types of fixtures proves more and more useful. Replaced by Loftus-Cheek, 83 mins. 7
Enzo Fernandez – Another strong showing from the Premier League’s record signing, who will have had Karim Adeyemi’s goal from the first-leg in his mind all night. Replaced by Denis Zakaria, 85 mins. 7.5

Kai Havertz – Showed his composure to tuck away the penalty, after the missing his first attempt but being saved by an encroaching Dortmund defender. 6.5
