Chelsea v Valencia: Champions League match preview

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.

Chelsea 0-0 Valencia

26 minutes

Chelsea are struggling to find a way through a disciplined, well-organised Valencia side. Chances have been scarce so far.

Big chance for the hosts! It's the first time they've really troubled Barcelona, and Marc-Andre ter Stegen has to be alert to deny Thorgan Hazard, who's played in by Marco Reus.

Azpilicueta sends a cross into the box from the right and it's met by Abraham, who glances a header at goal but can only send it well wide of the far post.

Valencia come forward at the other end and it's a real chance for Gameiro, who's played in behind the Chelsea defence. But Tomori recovers well to dispossess the striker before he can shoot.

Dortmund threaten again, with Reus again the architect. His ball into the box is met by Manuel Akanji, who heads just over the bar.

Valencia have sprung into life here. They cause more problems at the back for Chelsea as the ball drops to Rodrigo in the box. His low shot is blocked and the hosts eventually scramble the ball clear.

Some nice interplay on the edge of the Chelsea box from Valencia, but the final pass from Cheryshev is loose. The visitors are growing in confidence, though.

There's a pause in play as Alba receives some treatment from the physio. Dortmund have really grown into this game after a subdued start, and the fans are responding.

Willian glides past Parejo, weaves his way towards the edge of the box and fires off a low shot, which flashes just wide of the left post. Close!
