Final result: Tottenham-Roma 2-2
Svilar 6.5 – Conceded two goals, but avoided (at least) as many: positive performance
Left-handed 6 – With Son as an opponent the evening is complicated. He gets by as best he can, professionally.
Hummels 6 – Ready to go and give Tottenham a penalty, he was also responsible for the 2-1 goal when he let Kulusevski escape without putting up any resistance. He is still far from his best form, but for the first time since he wore the Giallorossi shirt he doesn’t look like a fish out of water and when his leadership is needed in the second half he doesn’t hold back. Indeed, he goes further by maliciously scoring the 2-2 goal.
N’Dicka 7 – Even as a left wing player, he confirms himself as Roma’s most reliable defender. His break on the goal that made the momentary 1-1 was perfect.
Celik 6.5 – With Mancini behind him he can attack the flank continuously and does it quite well, with unusual precision. On a personal level, it is one of his best performances with the Giallorossi shirt. From the 65th Zalewski 6 – It gives continuity to Celik’s performance.
Paredes 6 – Returning to the center of the village with the arrival of Claudio Ranieri, he allows himself some errors but his personality on such a hot pitch is a factor.
Kone 6 – Tonight in the middle of the field less dominant than usual, but still no demerits. In the 67th minute he misses a penalty one movement: he kicks from the height of the spot, he should have at least hit the goal.
Angelino 6.5 – There is a big flaw in his game, namely the delay in marking the 2-1 goal. Otherwise, however, the Spaniard’s performance was brilliant. As the best on the pitch. In the 59th minute he would have deserved the goal, but the ball hit the crossbar after his conclusion.
Dybala 7 – He only has one half in his legs, but that’s enough to reiterate why Roma just can’t give up on the Argentinian. The equalizer was auspicious with his free kick, El Shaarawy also served a delicious ball for the 1-2 goal: a shame for the millimetric offside position of the Pharaoh. From the 46th Soulé 5.5 – A couple of isolated ideas and nothing more.
El Shaarawy 6.5 – Epee and foil. He puts in a performance of desire and decent quality in both phases of the game. The goal would have been the icing on the cake. From the 69th Saelemaekers 6.5 – Good impact on the match.
Dovbyk 6 – He too had a goal disallowed for a millimetric offside position. He keeps Tottenham’s centre-backs busy.
Claudio Ranieri 7.5 – This 3-4-2-1 is the basis on which to start again. In his second on the Giallorossi bench, he centers the game system around which the future team will be built. There are still many aspects to work on and it’s not a small detail, but the character has finally been revised. The desire to all fight together. Rome has seen itself again.
