Final result: Juventus-Manchester City 2-0
By Gregorio 7 – He roars in the presence of Haaland: face to face with the Norwegian, he waits until the end and with his arm he blocks away an attempted dig. In the second half he flies over a shot from the edge of Gundogan’s area.
Savona 6 – On the pitch out of necessity, he is still too young to challenge a player like Doku. The Belgian gets away from him every time he targets him but luckily for him, especially in the second half, it happens only a few times.
Gatti 7.5 – Rough and effective. With application he makes up for some technical limitations and in the end he comes out great with a semi-overhand kick which gives rise to the 1-0 goal.
Rabbit 6.5 – In the 39th minute Haaland gets lost and is saved by Di Gregorio. His performance improved significantly after the 1-0 goal.
Danilo 7 – The best match of a complicated season so far. Bernardo Silva is a very uncomfortable opponent, but with experience – always keeping the right position – he limits the Portuguese.
Thuram 6 – De Bruyne should be marked more closely but he often loses it. However, his sturdiness is important against City’s turnover. From the 69th McKennie 7 – He came in and after six minutes scored the goal that closed the game. It’s a beautiful goal.
Locatelli 7 – Today he is the true irreplaceable of the Juventus midfield: he defends with teeth, he sets with clarity.
Conceição 6 – After a few minutes he suffers a foul that could put the end to his game. The Portuguese gets up, tries, and recites his script: not decisive, but still important. From the 69th Weah 6.5 – He comes in and gives McKennie the ball to make it 2-0
Shopkeepers 5.5 – Perhaps the only not so happy note. Especially in the first half, the Dutchman was too imprecise in the restart phase, even making simple suggestions wrong.
Star 7.5 – A match as Juventus’ number 10, as technical leader against a world-class opponent. The best Juventus player of the first half, then in the 53rd minute he does even better and hits a perfect ball for Vlahovic who makes it 1-0. From 84th state sv
Vlahovic 7.5 – Haaland devours the goal at the first opportunity. The Serbian, however, does not forgive and in the 53rd minute – after a first half as a spectator – he scores the goal that unlocks the game and gives a completely different flavor to the match. From the 85th Douglas Luiz sv
Thiago Motta 8 – Tactically impeccable. Aware of the strengths and limitations of his team, he fields a Juventus team that first and foremost thinks about not giving away spaces. Compact. Granitic. And then on the counterattack he knows how to punish.
