Jorginho is one player who has divided opinion in the past 12 months. After joining the Blues last summer alongside Maurizio Sarri from Napoli, the Italian maestro started games regularly at the heart of the midfield and started the season in brilliant form as Chelsea challenged for a spot at the top of the Premier League.

He was a vital cog of Sarri-ball and despite starting the season in scintillating fashion, the harsh realities of English football took its toll on the Italian.

Against a top-quality opposition like Barcelona, the midfielder did his reputation no harm as he complemented Mateo Kovacic with incredible chemistry.

The Barcelona midfield in the first half comprised of Sergio Busquets, Sergi Roberto, and Ricky Puig but the Spanish trio had no answers to the Chelsea pair as they ran the show at the center of the park.

The midfield metronome looks set to establish himself as a key player in Lampard's side and his assured display is sure to have pleased the fans.
