Como Player Ratings vs Juventus

Have a look at the Como Player Ratings from the Juventus vs Como Player Ratings.

Goalkeeper

Jean Butez - 7.0: A confident and assured performance from the keeper. He made two important saves, including a crucial one from inside the box to preserve the lead. What stood out to us was his command of the area, claiming the ball well from crosses. His distribution was solid, providing a calm presence at the back when his team needed it most.

Defenders

Marc Oliver Kempf - 6.5: Had a few nervous moments and lost possession a couple of times. However, he compensated with five vital clearances that snuffed out potential danger. He grew into the game but never looked completely comfortable. A mixed but ultimately effective outing.

Álex Valle - 7.5: We were very impressed with this display. He was tidy on the ball, boasting a 96% pass accuracy, and even created a chance going forward. Defensively, he was immense, winning four of his five duels and making three tackles. A fantastic all-round performance from the fullback.

Jacobo Ramón - 6.5: A steady, no-nonsense performance at the heart of the defence. He did his job without any fuss, making a couple of clearances and being strong in the air. He wasn't spectacular, but he didn't need to be. He was a reliable part of a very organized defensive unit.

Ivan Smolcic - 6.5: A solid shift on the defensive flank. He made two important interceptions and was willing to join the attack. He was dribbled past once but recovered well. From our perspective, his work rate was key to stifling Juventus's wide players.

Midfielders

Maxence Caqueret - 8.0: A very busy performance, topped off with a brilliant finish to double the lead for Como. He worked tirelessly but lost possession far too often for our liking. He drew a couple of fouls to relieve pressure, but his influence on the ball was limited. An industrious but tidy game.

Martin Baturina - 6.0: He showed some nice touches and created a chance, but his final product was lacking. What concerned us was his inability to win any of his duels, which saw him bypassed too easily in midfield. A lightweight performance on a day that required more steel.

Máximo Perrone - 7.5: A brilliant midfield display that balanced defensive grit with attacking intent. He made tackles, interceptions, and clearances, protecting his backline superbly. He also created a chance and was composed in possession. A truly complete performance.

Lucas Da Cunha - 6.5: The captain was so unlucky not to get on the scoresheet after his thunderous effort hit the woodwork. However, he was also quite wasteful in possession at times. It was a frustrating performance from him personally, despite his team's incredible result.

Forwards

Mërgim Vojvoda - 8.5: The undisputed man of the match. He took his goal with the composure of a seasoned striker, providing the moment of quality that decided the game. Beyond the goal, his work rate was exceptional, tracking back to make tackles and interceptions. An outstanding, match-winning performance and our highest-rated player.

Anastasios Douvikas - 7.0: Provided the crucial assist for the winning goal, which elevates his entire performance. He was otherwise fairly quiet and missed a headed opportunity. But football is about decisive moments, and he delivered one.

Manager

F. Fàbregas i Soler - 8.0: An absolute tactical masterclass from the Como manager. His team was organized, disciplined, and fearless against one of the league's giants. They took their chance and defended for their lives. He completely outwitted his opposite number today.

Juventus Player Ratings vs Como

Have a look at the Juventus Player Ratings from the Juventus vs Como Player Ratings.

Goalkeeper

Michele Di Gregorio - 6.0: He couldn't have done much to stop the goal, as it was a well-placed shot. Beyond that, he was a spectator for large parts of the match. It's a tough one to rate, as he was barely involved but still ended up on the losing side.

Defenders

Federico Gatti - 5.5: A surprisingly quiet and ineffective performance. The stats show he made almost no defensive contributions of note. While his passing was neat, he offered no thrust or defensive security. A player of his quality should be influencing the game far more.

Lloyd Kelly - 7.0: One of the few Juventus players who can hold their head high. He was solid defensively and tried to force the issue, creating a big chance with a great pass. From our perspective, he showed the fight and quality that were missing from many of his teammates.

Teun Koopmeiners - 5.5: Played in an unfamiliar defensive rol,e and it showed. His error led directly to a Como shot, a cardinal sin for a defender. He looked uncomfortable and his positioning was questionable at times, despite being tidy on the ball.

Midfielders

Manuel Locatelli - 6.5: The captain put in a shift, as you'd expect. He was combative, winning duels and making tackles in the middle of the park. He tried to drive his team forward but was fighting a losing battle against a swarm of Como midfielders. A decent effort in a poor team performance.

Khéphren Thuram - 5.0: A really disappointing outing. He was incredibly sloppy, losing possession 11 times and looking off the pace. We expected him to dominate the midfield, but he was a passenger for most of the game. A day to forget.

Weston McKennie - 4.5: He was completely anonymous. To have only 17 touches in 50 minutes is shocking for a central midfielder. He lost all his duels and was a complete non-factor. One of the worst performances we’ve seen from him.

Andrea Cambiaso - 5.5: He got into some promising positions out wide but his final ball was consistently poor. He delivered several crosses with no success and was weak in his duels. Looked busy but lacked any real cutting edge or impact.

Forwards

Kenan Yıldız - 7.0: Juventus's brightest spark by a country mile. He was direct, drew several fouls, and was the only player who looked capable of creating something. He tested the keeper with a good shot and was always trying to make things happen. He deserved better from his teammates.

Loïs Openda - 5.5: A frustrating and wasteful performance. He missed a big chance and was caught offside, killing his team's momentum. Strikers are judged on goals, and he failed to deliver when his team was desperate for one. Needs to be much more clinical.

Fabio Miretti - 5.0: Made very little impact on the game and was rightly substituted at halftime. He lost possession far too frequently and was second-best in his duels. The substitution told the entire story of his performance.

Manager

L. Spalletti - 5.0: From our perspective, he got his tactics completely wrong. His team looked flat, uninspired, and unable to react to going a goal down. They had no clear plan to break down Como's low block and the substitutions didn't change the flow of the game. A very poor showing from the dugout.
