Juventus Player ratings:
Szczęsny – Made two straightforward saves in the first half, didn’t have much to do after the red card. 6.0/10
Cuadrado – Didn’t have a great start, made some mistakes, but his crossing was dreadful whole game. 6.0/10
Bonucci – Solid at the back and composed, had a great chance to make it 3-0 in the second half and looked totally in control at the back. 6.5/10
De Ligt – Good at the back, after the red didn’t had much to do at the back, had some great chances on the other end and finally converted late into the second half. 7.0/10
Matuidi – Played out of position due to stupid Danilo, didn’t look comfortable but looked much better in the second half. 6.0/10
Midfield:
Rabiot – Had a decent early chance to open the scoring, testing the keeper from range but other than that, he did little and was subbed off. 5.5/10
Pjanic – Was much better in the second half as compared to first. 6.0/10
Bentancur – The only midfielder who seemed to do any running to start with, winning the free-kick that sent Lecce down to 10 men and making a great run back into his own half to stop a Lecce attack. 6.5/10
Forwards:
Cristiano Ronaldo – Looked really out of sorts, missing a great headed chance before putting in a good cross for Bernardschi to waste. Better start in the second half, laying the ball off for Dybala to finish before winning and converting a penalty. Had a great chance for another but put his header straight at the keeper before setting up Higuain. Electric. 8.0/10 MOTM
Bernardeschi – Spent most of the first half offside before skying a great chance. 5.5/10
Dybala – Constantly dropping deep to collect and roaming the pitch, but it left Juve without a presence in the box. Started the last 45′ with a beautiful finish to put Juve ahead. Put in a great free-kick that should have been converted. 7.0/10
Substitutes:
Costa – Immediately injected some pace into a slow looking Juve and his runs helped Juve get ahead. 6.5/10
Ramsey – 6.0/10
Higuain – Good to see him back, and he nearly made an instant impact, shooting just wide of the far post. Bided his time and got his goal with a lethal finish. 7.0/10
Muratore – 6.0/10
