1. Goalkeeper & Defenders

Lionel Messi, Merih Demiral — Stifled Messi well | Valerio Pennicino/Getty Pictures

Wojciech Szcz?sny (GK) – 6/10 – May maybe well also plan nothing in regards to the goal which used to be deflected out of his course.

Juan Cuadrado (RB) – 5/10 –

Loves tumbling to the bottom, but also loves reducing interior in the direction of the penalty box when Dybala is out wide trying ahead to him.

Leonardo Bonucci (CB) – 5/10 –

A miracle he used to be even playing within the important thing device, it used to be a essential night for Bonucci who had pace all over him to take care of.

Merih Demiral (CB) – 3/10 –

Made an early mistake but made up for it with some pretty tackles and reading of menace as the sport wore on. Saved Messi mostly at bay…until he acquired himself sent off.

Danilo (LB) – 5/10 –

Sorely missing in sense on the ball, Danilo’s decision making used to be depressed all over. Bought skinned generally by Dembele.

Rodrigo Bentancur (CM) – 6/10 – Under no circumstances managed to select the runs of Chiesa in entrance of him, and used to be given the flee around continuously by a 17-twelve months-broken-down. Even Pjanic looked first charge when compared.

Paulo Dybala (AM) – 5/10 –

Equipped so tiny in an attacking sense but Juventus largely did anyway, bar balls in from wide into Morata.

Adrien Rabiot (CM) – 5/10 – Why he wasn’t hauled off in favour of Aaron Ramsey quickly after half-time is a mystery. Became once a passenger for remarkable spells.

Federico Chiesa, Sergi Roberto — Tricky night for Chiesa. | Valerio Pennicino/Getty Pictures

Dejan Kulusevski (RW) – 5/10 – No longer a remarkable night for the Swede, who’d otherwise enjoyed a graceful initiate to the season for I Bianconeri. Under no circumstances offered ample in possession.

Alvaro Morata (ST) – 7/10 – Scored a hat-trick! Of disallowed targets! They were all moral calls, but Morata did will to receive himself into perilous positions all over.

Federico Chiesa (LW) – 4/10 –

Reasonably maybe Juve’s worst participant, however the runs he made in wide areas weren’t picked out well ample.

Ousmane Dembélé (RM) – 7/10 – His goal can occupy taken a deflection but Dembele looked cessation to his pre-harm make with some darting runs and spruce footwork.

Miralem Pjani? (CM) – 8/10 –

Juve fans couldn’t love this, but Pjanic used to be good within the coronary heart of midfield, dictating play – albeit it continually with easy passes.

Frenkie de Jong (CM) – 7/10 –

Came so deep that he almost played as a central defender now and then. Became once composed in possession and kept Rabiot and co. chasing shadows.

Pedri (LM) – 8/10 –

One amongst these ‘consider the title’ avid gamers who is thriving below Ronald Koeman. Can occupy given Bentancur and Cuadrado nightmares. Splendidly gifted 17-twelve months-broken-down.
