Miracle gone, perfect match until the substitutions. He had been the director of the comeback, he struggled to understand anything about the Vecino-Felipe change (why not Isaksen or Pedro?). You can always say: it was close. Brilliant and reckless Lazio.
Mandas 6.5
Milik ruins his souvenir photo, abandoned by everyone, alone in front of the door. Big hands and feet from Mandas in the first half. Parrying, countering: with his big left foot Vlahovic’s kick deflected by Gila, he took it high and low, with his fists and pincers, to extinguish the Juventus ambitions. More eventful second half: Marusic saves, Vlahovic shoots out. Milik is everyone’s torment.
Speed match against Chiesa, physical against Vlahovic when he hung out in his area. He used his big muscles to divide himself between the two, he challenged them by swinging his elbows. Four clearances in the first half, more than anyone. In the second half he started on the right (due to Gila’s injury). Eighty-eight touches, more than anyone.
A. Romagnoli 5.5
Milik, electrocuting him, destroyed a stone monster match. The meaning of being a Lazio player, a fan and a player, is to live and play like this. The marking on Vlahovic was enveloping and nagging. Interventions for flying sweeps, flange water body. Then the fatal blunder.
Gila 6
The sense of rhythm and play. He had given cadences to the offensive actions. He holds the record for the number of balls played in the first 45 minutes: 58 touches and 50 successful passes out of 55. Catalog numbers. The half-time knockout due to injury. Only half a game for him.
Patric (1’ st) 6
The synchronisms of the defender-pioneer, he started high to attack. On the goal the entire defensive line was tossed from right to left.
Hysaj 6
On the right, full flank, in front of Kostic and Rabiot and with Chiesa raging. He absorbed attacks and cuts, he tried to be Pythonic by going up in attack. He ran always and everywhere, the best he can do when he’s in the mood.
Guendouzi 6,5
Case played down by Tudor by relaunching him as starter. Seven possessions gained in the first 45′. The desire to play was so strong that he immediately threw out everything he had in his gut. Movements, stakeouts. Fighting match with Rabiot on his heels. He ended up as an attacking midfielder with Felipe’s exit, losing his luster.
Pedro (39′ st) st
Never dangerous.
