Juventus
By Gregorio 6.5: immediately decisive against Lapadula, it is repeated in the final against Prati, even if the first has a decidedly greater weight.
Savona 6: without shining but without major errors, another positive performance.
Locatelli 6: starts as a central defender, playing with authority. With the entry of Gatti he returns to the midfield, but is preferred to move back.
Rabbit 6.5: providential on two occasions against Lapadula, he keeps his concentration high throughout the match.
McKennie 6: full-back by necessity, he struggles more than usual to shine from afar. However, it confirms its ductility, a fundamental characteristic for Motta.
Thuram 6: a lot of movement and a lot of running, he doesn’t land the shot but there’s no passing on his side.
Buyers 7: he starts back and seems more comfortable. He also scores a goal from a free kick, delivering a delicate and precise free kick before leaving the field. From 13′ st Gatti 6: usual solid proof.
Conceição 7.5: he came close to scoring twice in a handful of minutes at the start, but didn’t stop. Always with very high revs, he targets the man, sends the defense into a tailspin, scores the third goal and goes out to applause. Dal 36’ st Weah sv
Star 6.5: lively and present playing behind the centre-forward, he finds the shot in the heart of the area which Vlahovic converts into the opening goal. Dal 21’ st Nico Gonzalez 7: his speed and his beautiful goal are the best news for Motta after going through to the next round.
Thunder 6: starts strong, often targets the opponent and also has a good opportunity which, however, he wastes.
Vlahovic 6: scores the “peace” goal with the curve, rejoicing under the crowd of fans. However, he missed at least three clear chances, in addition to the two disallowed for offside. Dal 36’ st Adzic 6
Coach Motta 6.5: reaches the quarter-finals with four goals, recovers Gonzalez, finds the winning free kick from Koopmeiners. Definitely a positive evening.

Cagliari
Scuffet 5: reactive on Conceicao’s shot, he gets put in four times.
Zappa 6: he is forced to keep his foot on the brake, trying to stem the raids of McKennie, Koopmeiners and Mbangula. It’s hard but it holds up. From the 23rd minute Azzi 5.5 A step behind his partner.
Wietska 5: dances like the entire Cagliari defense, always in trouble and never confident.
Palomino 5: nice close on Vlahovic at the start, he gets blown up too easily at 3-0.
Augello 5: so many mistakes, so much effort against a possessed Conceicao.
Luck 5: he is unable to impact the game nor in the defensive phase, much less in the offensive one.
Marin 5.5: he sacrifices himself with a game of containment, sometimes trying to verticalize but without surprising effectiveness. From 13′ st Happy 6th Dynamic and intense.
Track 6: it’s not easy for him against Juve’s midfield, but he finishes with a nice shot from outside saved by Di Gregorio.
Deiola 5: he struggled a lot on the left wing, finishing the match by forgetting the ball before being pardoned by Vlahovic. Dal 36′ st Adopo sv
Gaetano 5.5: he buzzes around Lapadula, tries to accelerate but these attempts are often in vain. From the 23rd minute Piccoli 5.5 He bangs and tries, but shoots high twice.
Lapadula 5.5: he conceded the ball to break the deadlock after a handful of seconds, but Di Gregorio is good. He tries with interesting movements, but without success. From the 23rd minute Pavoletti 5.5 Some banks and little else.
Coach Nicola 5: his Cagliari remained in the game for half an hour, before melting away in the face of Juventus’ progression.
Arbiter Feliciani 6: simple game, without mistakes
