Here is a look at the newspaper player ratings for Benfica’s 2-2 draw against Red Bull Leipzig in the Champions League. Benfica lead 2-0 in Germany till the 90th minute, until two Emil Forsberg goals handed Leipzig an unlikely point. While Forsberg was lauded for his brace, it was a disappointing evening for the likes of Ethan Ampadu and Christopher Nkunku, as shown by these ratings.
