Arthur Melo (CM) – 4.5/10 – Arthur never looked comfortable on what could be his last Juventus start amid links with a January exit. The Brazilian failed to have an impact on Juve’s build-up with Matias Svanberg effectively marking him out of the contest. He struggled physically, and was replaced by Manuel Locatelli on the hour.

Adrien Rabiot (CM) – 5/10 – I mean, what can you say about Rabiot’s display. It was okay, neither here nor there, but okay. He done a bit of everything to a mediocre level. Yet, he got a full 90 minutes under his belt.

Weston McKennie (CM) – 6/10 – A spritely return to action for McKennie, who lasted just over 70 minutes before being replaced by Rodrigo Bentancur. The American produced some lovely touches and was certainly Juve’s best midfielder on the night.
