JUVENTUS

Manninger – 8: Showed once again he is more than capable to deputise for Buffon when needed. Made at least six top-notch saves and single-handedly kept Sevilla at bay.

Zebina – 7.5: Not the flashiest of fullbacks but always available in the attacking half to whip in a series of dangerous crosses from the right. Capped off his evening with a fine assist for Iaquinta.

Cannavaro – 6.5: Showed some of the assuredness of old. Made a few of his trademark tackles and challenges effortlessly, but also looked careless at times. It was his poor marking, however, that allowed Squillaci to score from a header.

Chiellini – 7: While Canna largely stayed inside his own half, Chiellini was busy buzzing all around the backline. Typically solid as a brick wall.

Grygera – 6.5: Couldn’t match Jesus Navas for pace but held firm when he had to to block off his crosses.

Camoranesi – 6: A decent showing but only lasted half an hour before being withdrawn with what looked like a calf muscle pull.

Zanetti – 6.5: A quiet outing, but that’s precisely what you want from your defensive midfielder.

Marchisio – 6: Combined well with Zanetti. Hovered just outside the Sevilla box but never really made much of an impact.

Tiago – 7.5: Pickpocketed a few balls deep in midfield and surged forward with purpose everytime. Made a few pinpoint, piercing through balls, too. Fought for every ball and took a few hard knocks as well.

Del Piero – 7: Does not look 34 at all. Very lively and went toe to toe with his younger opponents. Had a few look-ins at goal from freekicks but his only main contribution was an assist from a corner.

Amauri – 7.5: Showed his aerial prowess with a thumping header to open scoring. Very hardworking, chasing down through passes and loose balls. Did run out of steam towards the end, eventhough he had more space to work with.

Substitutes:

Iaquinta – 7: Looked completely out of sync initially but when he scored with a sublime finished, he started to grow more confident.

Molinaro – 6: Brought in to inject fresh legs and shore up the backline and he did just that.
