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.

Coquelin, formerly of Arsenal, goes into the book for a nasty challenge on Mount. His studs were high and that could quite easily have been a red. Mount looks hurt, too.

It's the away side setting the pace early on at the Westfalenstadion. They've had most of the possession and are probing for an early opening. Paco Alcacer drags a shot harmlessly wide.

Mount is okay to continue as Willian sends the free kick into the box. It's a poor delivery, though, and easy for Cillessen.

Barcelona continue to work the ball patiently, and each pass is whistled by the vocal home fans. Griezmann goes for goal but his shot is deflected for a corner, from which Pique flicks on. There's no one on hand to convert, though.

Mount is still struggling after that Coquelin tackle. And he'll have to come off. Pedro replaces him.

Kovacic chips the ball towards Abraham in the box. He brings the ball down, turns and shoots on the swivel, but he's penalised for handling the ball. He looks confident, though, unsurprisingly after Saturday's hat-trick.

The first real sign of intent from Valencia as Rodrigo drives towards the box and spots Wass to his right. His cross is hacked away but the away side keep the pressure on, and eventually find Gaya in space in the box. He heads at goal, but the flag's up for offside.

Dortmund are attempting to press and harry Barcelona, but the visitors look comfortable so far. All that's lacking is the final touch in attack.

Willian races away on the counter attack and has Pedro free to his left. But he chooses not to pass, making his way into the box before he's crowded out by white shirts. Chelsea eventually win a corner, which Valencia clear.
