VAR, as usual, had an impact but many Blades players shone against some of the best players in the world. Here’s how we rated them
1. Dean Henderson - 7

2. George Baldock - 8
Handed one of the trickier jobs of the evening to mark Raheem Sterling and did not look at all out of place Photo: Simon Bellis
3. Chris Basham - 8
Superb run in the second half saw him beat four players before Mousset was flagged offside Photo: James Wilson
4. John Egan - 8
Twice denied Mahrez a shot on target after throwing his body in the way of the ball Photo: Martin Rickett
