Player Ratings: Juventus 2-0 Man City – Vlahovic confidence boost, Gatti or Chiellini? | OneFootball

Juventus secured a memorable 2-0 win over European giants Manchester City on Wednesday: here are the player ratings from the Allianz Stadium.

Di Gregorio 7.5 – Superb save to deny Haaland minutes before the half-time break. He pulled off another one in the second half on Gundogan, which was perhaps even more difficult.

Savona 6.5-  Switched positions with Danilo at times and looked confident on both sides of the pitch.

Kalulu 6.5 – More static than Gatti, but still very much effective against Haaland and Man City stars.

Gatti 7.5 – A solid performance in central defence. He almost scored a crazy goal with a perfectly executed volley. Vlahovic found the net a few seconds later. A Chiellini-esque performance.

Danilo 6.5 – The Brazilian didn’t play in his favourite position, but he proved he could help the Bianconeri in many ways.

Thuram 6 – Great physicality in central midfield, just needed a bit more quality. (69′ McKennie 7 – Immediate impact, scored five minutes after his introduction from the bench.)

Locatelli 6.5 – Excellent positioning and kept it simple with the ball at his feet.

Conceiçao 6.5 – Very fast down the right flank but could have been more dangerous with his crosses. (69′ Weah 7 – Assisted his compatriot McKennie for Juventus’ second goal.)

Koopmeiners 6 – Probably played better in Juventus’ defensive half than in the final third, but did what the team needed.

Yildiz 7.5 – A lovely assist for Vlahovic and so many quality touches all over the pitch. Deserved standing ovation when he left the pitch. (86′ Mbangula N/A)

Vlahovic 7.5 – A much-needed goal to boost his confidence after a sloppy performance in the first half. (85′ Douglas Luiz N/A)

Coach: Motta 7.5 – Juventus executed the plan perfectly. They gave the ball to Manchester City and were clinical up front. Not a spectacular Juventus, but very, very solid. They did what was required and beat one of the top teams in Europe. It could be a season-changer.

Man City: Ederson 6; Walker 5.5, Ruben Dias 6, Gvardiol 5, Rico Lewis 5.5; Bernardo Silva 6, Gundogan 6; Doku 5 (78′ Savinho), De Bruyne 5.5, Grealish 5 (87′ Nunes N/A); Haaland 5. Coach: Guardiola 5.
