Hit: Dani Parejo
The Spaniard was Valencia's outlet from the back. They had limited chances to go forward, but when they did, the release came from Dani Parejo. he was able to pick out the likes of Gaya, Rodrigo and Gameiro going forward to then put the home side on the back foot.

Given the way Valencia set-up set pieces would be a crucial chance for them to try and score against Chelsea. Whenever they had the opportunity, Parejo stepped up and did the business for them. Chelsea's frailty at the back was exposed on more than one occasion as Valencia started to pull off one training ground routine after another. It was one in particular that made Chelsea pay as Parejo's perfectly weighted ball, albeit a bit awkward for Rodrigo to hit, was played in behind the defensive line.
It was important that one of Valencia's midfield trio play a more passing role as they sat back against Chelsea, and Parejo played it to perfection.
