Last Tuesday night's round of 16 first leg tie between Paris Saint Germain (PSG) and Chelsea, saw the home side preserving their unbeaten status at home this season and emerging 2-1 winners in Paris. But it wasn't all bad news for the London side, who not only left with a vital away goal, but also with credible performances from a few of their players, including Ghana's very own Baba Rahman.

Here are a few of his official match ratings from various newspapers and websites:

Express.co.uk : Provided a sumptuous cross for Chelsea's best chance of the game and dealt well when Marquinhos got on the overlap - 8/10

Mirror.co.uk : Better than in some of his previous Chelsea games, but not good enough for this level. - 6/10

Independent.co.uk : Defended well on the most part, but endured problems dealing with the sheer pace of Lucas Moura and Di Maria.
