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

Dailymail.co.uk : A rare start for the summer signing from Ausburg and the defender can be pleased with his contribution in Paris. - 7/10

Independent.co.uk : Defended well on the most part, but endured problems dealing with the sheer pace of Lucas Moura and Di Maria. However, as has been the case since he arrived at Chelsea, the left back impressed going forward and it has Baba who provided the cross form which Costa nearly scored. – 6/10

Goal.com : His ability to read the game and come in with a vital tackle or interception was important. – 6/10

Standard.co.uk -6/10
