Trevoh Chalobah - 6. The 22-year-old was tormented by Diaz but grew into the game as the defence adjusted. There were times he looked tentative and vulnerable to crosses. Azpilicueta came on for him for the second period of extra time. AP
Thiago Silva - 7. The 37-year-old was composed at the centre of defence but most of the trouble came down the flanks. He was a calming presence apart from the odd moment of wayward distribution. AFP
Antonio Rudiger - 8. The German’s side of the pitch was more secure in the first period and he handled Salah well until the Egyptian’s departure. He was robust in the tackle and showed off his pace when chasing Mane down in extra time. AP

Mason Mount - 7. It took a while for the 23-year-old to get going but he sent in a cross to Pulisic from which the American should have scored. The longer the game went on, the more space he found. Alisson saved his penalty in the shootout. Reuters
Christian Pulisic - 7. The American screwed a first-half chance wide and then played in Alonso, who wasted the opportunity. He might have done better when shooting straight at Alisson in the second half and when he shot past the post. Loftus-Cheek replaced him for the final 15 minutes. Reuters

Trent Alexander-Arnold - 8. The 23-year-old’s sumptuous ball to Diaz with the outside of his foot showed his class. He found Robertson at the back post but the Scot could not control the ball. His defending was sharp during Chelsea’s good spells and he made three vital interceptions. Scored in the shootout. Reuters
Ibrahima Konate - 7. The Frenchman showed his strength against Lukaku. His distribution was sometimes poor but his positional play was effective. AP
Virgil van Dijk - 7. The Dutchman was involved in a physical battle with Lukaku and did not give an inch. He tried to spark attacks with long balls from deep but went off injured at the start of extra time and was replaced by Matip. AP
Andrew Robertson - 7. The Scot got up in support of Diaz. Mount got in behind him on one occasion but his defending was generally good.

Mohamed Salah - 5. The Egyptian saw little of the ball even though Liverpool piled on early pressure before he went down with a groin injury. He was replaced by Jota in the 33rd minute. EPA
Sadio Mane - 7. The Senegalese worked tirelessly to create space for those around him. Few chances came his way but his movement was excellent. He missed a potentially shootout-winning penalty. AP
Luis Diaz - 8. The Colombian tormented the defence from the start and could have scored or set up three early goals. He shot just wide three times in the second period and made way for Firmino in the 98th minute. AFP
SUBS: Diogo Jota (Salah 33') - 7. The Portuguese flicked a chance over the bar before half time and fired wide after the break. Slammed in an powerful penalty in the shootout. AFP
James Milner (Keita 74') - 7. The 36-year-old immediately made his presence felt with a robust challenge on James and a marvellous cross to Robertson. Scored in the shootout with an unstoppable penalty. Reuters
