Being subdued by Reece James is nothing to be ashamed of, especially not when the majority of a team's gameplan is to totally isolate and stop you.
James has done a job on some of the best attackers in the world and has cemented himself as one of the most in-form and talented full-backs on the planet, therefore the battle between an electric winger and dominant right-back was always going to be intriguing.
How Chelsea fared against AC Milan was always likely to come down to how much they could limit Rafael Leao's influence on the two games. Olivier Giroud is a threat, Brahim Diaz is creative and Charles De Ketelaere is exciting, but none of them match the fear imposed by Leao.
