He was a non-entity in attack. Too slow to overlap and didn't deliver good crosses today. Balde would've done better imo

He delivered a good cross for Lewy's header. Don't think he was asked to do all that much offensively anyway. It's just not how Xavi use FBs.

Overall think he was ok for a first start.

Although he is slow, he wasn't folded like complete fool as Alba usually was. Not sure if Balde would be better. He is faster, but could have more gaffes due to lack of experience and nerves. My opinion on him for now is - okay.

Chelsea fans called him Alonslow for a reason. Honestly not sure I can even blame him that much because it's well established that he sucks as a usual LB. He's best as a LWB in a proper back three.

Balde should start.
