Playing in his Champions League debut, Ndidi was decent all through the game, providing a cover for Leicester City’s questionable defence.

The midfielder who joined Leicester City in the January transfer window has been a constant figure in the Foxes' line-up.

At Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Wednesday, the 19-year-old was impressive once again with his only error coming in the first half when he delayed a clearance leading to a penalty against Leicester City.

Luckily for him, Kasper Schmeichel saved the penalty to keep Leicester City in the game.

Ndidi also had Leicester City’s first shot on target in the 50th minute.
