Juan Cuadrado (RM) – 6.5/10 – Cuadrado’s perseverance earned Juventus an equaliser before half-time and, for large stretches, the veteran looked like the most likely to create something out of nothing for the away side.

Arthur Melo (CM) – 5/10 – Contributed little to the build-up, offered close to no progression and rarely entered the final third. The game passed him by for the most part and the Brazilian was whom Joao Pedro drifted off to score the opener.

Denis Zakaria (CM) – 6.5/10 – Zakaria got through a ton of defensive work in the first half and teased his power when driving with possession. Overall, this was a well put together display from the Swiss international, even if he was quiet in the second period.

Adrien Rabiot (LM) – 5.5/10 – A more subdued outing from Rabiot after his Derby d’Italia showcase. He was replaced with 20 minutes remaining by Federico Bernardeschi.
