CELTIC (4-2-3-1) (TEAM AVERAGE: 4.1/10).

VILJAMI SINISALO – 3.5/10 

Little chance with chipped penalty. Badly exposed for No 2. Poor at the third and wrong footed for the fourth. 

COLBY DONOVAN – 4.5/10

Tested early by Prestianni and the Argentine was winning the battle every time. Stuck to his task better than most, though.

DANE MURRAY – 3.5/10 

Conceded a clumsy penalty in the first five minutes. Part of a brittle backline brutally exposed in all departments. 

AUSTON TRUSTY – 5/10

Beaten by Duran for the third. Not helped by those in front of him but was steady on the ball and played some nice passes.

KIERAN TIERNEY– 6/10

Tested the goalkeeper with a long-range effort and made more key interventions than any other defender.

CALLUM McGREGOR– 4.5/10

Couldn’t control the tempo and part of a Celtic midfield that is worryingly lightweight. Did a bit better in the second half.

MIKA BAUR – 4/10

Received glowing reports from Germany boss Jurgen Klopp but has to be more physical on big European nights like these.

CAMILO DURAN – 6.5/10

Scored when playing through the middle. Far more effective and dangerous than Hogh in that role. Hit post in each half.

OLIVER SORENSEN – 3.5/10

Barely got a kick in a first half where he seemed overawed. Taken off early in the second period and had minimal impact.

SEBASTIAN TOUNEKTI – 2.5/10

Fell asleep and the back post to leave Bah unmarked for 2-0. Guilty of not tracking back. Powderpuff going forward.

KASPER HOGH – 2/10

Missed from a yard out, poor link-up play and too cumbersome to lead the line at this level. £11m? Good luck in recouping that.

SUBS: Haissem Hassan (Hogh 46), Callum Osmand (Tounekti 46), Benjamin Nygren (Sorensen 57), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Baur 57), Jordan Lotomba (Donovan 77). 

MANAGER: MARTIN O'NEILL - 4/10.

Totally outclassed in the first half. Subs made a difference in the second half but Benfica did take the foot off the gas by then. 

BENFICA (4-2-3-1): Trubin; Bah (Circati 80), Araujo, Lenglet, Dahl (Echeverri 64); Palhinha; Aursnes; Lukebakio (Schjelderup 68), Sudakov (El Karouani 64), Prestianni; Duran (Pavlidis 67). Booked: Dahl, Bah, Palhinha.

REFEREE: Nikola Dabanovic (Montenegro) - 7.
