Final result: Juventus – Benfica 0-2
Juventus (by Dimitri Conti)
Perin 6 – Nothing to do on the first attempt by Pavlidis, at least avoids the brace before the interval. He surrenders on Kokcu but has no faults.
Weah 5.5 – Also backward in full back, it makes its offensive vein available but manages too rarely to create a chain with conceicao.
Cats 4 – Too distracted to be true, there is a lot of responsibility in the hole in which Benfica goes to do 0-1. Also planted on the doubling.
Kalulu sv – Not even a quarter of an actual hour on the field, until it is forced to forfeit from a thigh injury. Yet another tile for Motta.
From 16 ‘ Locatelli 5 – He is not a central defender, as adapted proof not to make the little naturalness feel. He only succeeds in part, leaves some hole.
McKENNIE 5.5 – On his part of Mary is raged and as long as he remains on the pitch, the Fideo forces him to defend. When it can push, it does it little.
K. Thuram 6 – Among the most perky from the first bars for the desire to propose, he cannot everything but at least tries. It is not clear why it comes out.
From 61 ‘ KOOPMERS 5 – Half an hour to try to give new life to himself, his season and Juventus. Nothing to report or remember.
Douglas Luiz 5 – Between market rumors and gray performance, it has the chance to change the trajectory of its destiny. Instead, it remains slow and compressed.
Conceicao 5 – It always seems that it is about to split the world, too often she is often weighing your feet alone. It served a completely different contribution on his part.
Yildiz 5.5 – Blindered shower in the head, despite the very young age he still has the personality that many are missing to try. Not to succeed.
Mbangula 5 – He is just in the second presence as a starter in the Champions League and does not have the tools to oppose the critic course of the game.
From 61 ‘ Gonzalez 5.5 – It would not even come in very badly, a couple of flicks offers them immediately except then ended sucked into general mediocrity.
Vlahovic 5 – His current situation in the club is such that the fact that he is the owner. Instead, yet another negative performance does.
Thiago Motta 4 – There is little concrete at stake, but in the abstract you play a lot: a signal would be appreciated by its people, the same one who whistles decisively at the end of a first half concluded below 0-1 by a Juventus too long appeared afraid. Try to change something in the second half but the reaction is slender, almost impalpable. And after a while Benfica still hits, putting the infinite fragility that are crushing him bare.
Benfic (by Paolo Lora Lamia)
Trubin 6 – Some good intervention, in a match that, however, does not reserve big workers on the whole.
Araujo 6 – He thinks practically only to contain and does it with good attention, both against Mbangula and against Yildiz when he goes to act in his area. From 91 ‘Joao Rego Sv.
Antonio Silva 7 – The defender for a long time courted by Juve really makes a good impression, granting little or nothing Vlahovic. Perhaps Giuntoli is already regretting that he has made other choices.
Otamendi 6.5 – The Argentine caudillo does not let even a pin pass in the area, which protects with the usual mastery never falling attention.
Bah 6.5 – Conceicao creates more than a scratch card, but when he pushes he is in turn a thorn in the side. His assist for Pavlidis’ 0-1.
Aursnes 6.5 – Of the midfield trio is the one that most of all goes forward. Also well in directing, as shown by starting the maneuver of the advantage.
Florentino 7 – One of the best on the field in red jersey. Litterly a dam, where Juventus attempts are broken. Despite the great work done in the 90 minutes, there is no moment of the game in which it appears in trouble.
Kokcu 7 – It grows conspicuously with the proceeding of the dispute. First half quite anonymous, but after the interval he is a great protagonist by closing the games with the 0-2 goal. From 91 ‘Rollheiser Sv.
Of Mary 6 – Like a magician of experience, he needs a few numbers to leave the spectators with stone. His game stands out in the start, with whom he was about to send Pavlidis in goal. From 72 ‘Akturkoglu 6 – He goes close to the goal on one occasion, having a good impact on his team.
Pavlidis 7.5 – It is confirmed in a great moment, after the sumptuous test with Barcelona. Unlock the match at the start and then touches the brace to a breath from the interval. Since 84 ‘AMDUNI SV.
Schjelderup 6 – An opportunity in the first minutes of the game, then little else on the left front of the attack. However, try enough. From 72 ‘Barreiro 6 – Some good games in the last meters, in an ending where Benfica has no major needs to push.
Bruno Lage 7 – It will hardly forget this evening. He clearly wins the duel with Motta for defensive organization, fluidity of the maneuver and cynicism forward.
