Ross Barkley fluffed a late penalty as Frank Lampard suffered defeat on his Champions League debut as Chelsea manager.

The Blues, trailing to a goal from Valencia winger Rodrigo, were given a lifeline in the closing stages when VAR flagged up a handball in the area.

But Barkley's spot-kick clipped the crossbar to condemn Lampard and his young side to a 1-0 loss in the Group H opener.

Relive the action.
