The start is negative with the penalty caused which leads to Tottenham’s lead. The ending was sweet with his first goal for the Giallorossi which made it 2-2. Mats Hummels this time he left a positive mark on his Roma. For the Gazzetta dello Sport the vote was initially not enough: “It was 4 until 2-2. That touch in front of goal in the 91st minute changes everything. For him and potentially for Roma”. “Crazy intervention in the area after two minutes and – analyzed by Corriere dello Sport – penalty kick for the Spurs. Kulusevski was also late for the second English goal. In the long run, however, the leader comes out and then, despite the athletic difficulties, he is ready to hit the equalizer into the net.”
This is the comment from TMW: “Ready to go and give Tottenham a penalty, he is also responsible for the 2-1 goal when he lets Kulusevski escape without putting up any resistance. He is still far from his best condition, but for the first time since he wore the Giallorossi shirt doesn’t look like a fish out of water and when their leadership is needed in the second half, they don’t hold back. In fact, they go further, scoring the 2-2 goal with malice. “The beginning is horror – writes Vocegiallorossa.it – with the naive foul which immediately causes the penalty for the English. An error of this kind, after the controversies of recent times, would have killed anyone. It must be recognized that the German defender has the attributes , brings out his character and makes several quality defensive interventions, until the final goal that closes the circle.”
