Roma Player Ratings vs Juventus

Here are AS Roma player ratings from the Serie A match against Juventus:

Goalkeeper

Mile Svilar - 5.5: A really tough day at the office for the Roma keeper. He conceded three goals and only made two saves all game. From our perspective, he looked uncertain and failed to command his box during the late Juventus pressure. He'll be having nightmares about that late equalizer.

Defenders

Evan Ndicka - 7.5: A strange performance to rate. He scored a fantastic goal to put his team 2-1 up, showing great composure for a defender. He also made a team-high six clearances. However, being part of a defence that collapsed and conceded three goals is a major black mark against his name.

Zeki Çelik - 6.5: A steady, if unspectacular, outing for the right-back. He was tidy in possession with an 88% pass accuracy and didn't make any glaring errors. What stood out was his lack of offensive contribution, with only two crosses attempted. He did his defensive duties but offered little more.

Gianluca Mancini - 6.0: A frustrating game for Mancini. While his passing was crisp (91% accuracy), his defensive contribution was lacking. He only won one duel all game and was caught out of position for the chaotic final goal. We noticed he seemed a step off the pace.

Midfielders

Devyne Rensch - 7.5: An excellent 74-minute display from Rensch before he was surprisingly substituted. He was a rock in the middle, winning an astounding 10 out of 11 duels and making five interceptions. His energy was infectious, and Roma lost a lot of control after he departed.

Bryan Cristante - 6.5: The captain had a very busy evening. He was a force in the air, winning five aerial duels, but was very sloppy on the ball. He lost possession 18 times which is far too many for a central midfielder. A battling performance that lacked the required quality.

Manu Koné - 8.0: A superb performance from the midfielder. He was the creative engine for Roma, capping his display with a perfectly weighted through ball for Malen's goal. His dribbling and control in tight spaces were a joy to watch, and he barely put a foot wrong.

Wesley - 7.0: Scored a brilliant opening goal with a powerful strike into the top corner. He was a constant threat in the first half, drawing fouls and causing problems. He did pick up a yellow card and his influence waned in the second period, but his goal was a moment of pure quality.

Niccolò Pisilli - 8.5: Our man of the match. An absolutely colossal performance from the young midfielder. The stats are staggering: 13 ball recoveries, 7 interceptions, 11 duels won, and an assist for the opening goal. He was a one-man wrecking crew who covered every blade of grass. A truly outstanding display that deserved to be on the winning side. The highest-rated player on the pitch for a reason.

Forwards

Lorenzo Pellegrini - 7.0: A classic Pellegrini game. He provided a pinpoint assist from a corner and created another big chance. However, he also missed a sitter that could have put the game to bed earlier. His creativity is undeniable, but that lack of a clinical edge was costly.

Donyell Malen - 7.5: He was a handful all night. After being caught offside a couple of times, he finally timed his run perfectly to score Roma's third goal. He took six shots in total, constantly testing the Juventus backline. A tireless and ultimately rewarding performance.

Substitutes

Neil El Aynaoui, Daniele Ghilardi, Bryan Zaragoza - N/A: They were brought on late to see the game out, but ultimately failed to stem the tide of the Juventus comeback. It's harsh to judge them on such short cameos during a chaotic end to the match.

Manager

G. Gasperini - 6.0: For 75 minutes, his plan worked to perfection as Roma played some scintillating football. However, his team's complete capitulation in the final 15 minutes falls on him. The substitutions failed to have the desired effect, and to throw away a 3-1 lead at home is a massive failure.

Juventus Player Ratings vs Roma

Check out Juventus player ratings from the game:

Goalkeeper

Mattia Perin - 5.5: A very shaky performance. He conceded three goals and was credited with an error leading to a shot. He didn't inspire any confidence and looked vulnerable every time Roma attacked. He'll be relieved his team's attackers bailed him out.

Defenders

Bremer - 6.5: The captain led by example with a crucial assist for the first equalizer. He was solid enough, making five clearances and winning his tackles. However, as the leader of a defence that was carved open for three goals, he has to take some responsibility.

Lloyd Kelly - 6.5: A very physical and busy performance. He won an impressive nine duels and was dominant in the air. He did, however, commit three fouls and looked clumsy at times. A mixed bag of a performance, really.

Pierre Kalulu - 6.5: He was involved all over the pitch, making eight recoveries and even creating two chances going forward. Defensively, though, he was part of a unit that struggled with Roma's movement. He was often pulled out of position, leaving gaps for the opposition to exploit.

Midfielders

Teun Koopmeiners - 7.0: A calm and composed head in a chaotic midfield battle. His 91% pass accuracy shows his quality on the ball. He kept play ticking over, won most of his duels, and screened the defence well. A typically classy and understated performance.

Khéphren Thuram - 6.0: We were expecting more from him. He was physically present, winning his tackles, but he was sloppy in possession and offered very little going forward. It wasn't a surprise to see him substituted after 72 minutes of running hard but achieving little.

Weston McKennie - 6.0: All action, but little substance. The American midfielder worked tirelessly but missed a big chance and was wasteful in the final third. You can never fault his effort, but his end product was seriously lacking in this game.

Andrea Cambiaso - 6.5: A tidy and efficient performance on the flank. He was solid defensively, making seven recoveries, and used the ball well without taking too many risks. A dependable, if not thrilling, display.

Forwards

Francisco Conceição - 7.0: Scored an absolute stunner to get Juventus back in the game. It was a brilliant strike from outside the box. He was Juventus's most dangerous player until he was taken off. A very lively and creative display.

Kenan Yıldız - 6.0: A really frustrating night for the young forward. He got into some great positions and had a couple of shots, but his finishing was wild. He lost possession 16 times, which killed too many attacks. A learning experience for him.

Jonathan David - 5.5: He was completely anonymous. In 62 minutes, he managed only 20 touches and offered zero goal threat. It was a performance that passed him by entirely. We barely noticed he was on the pitch, which is the worst indictment for a striker.

Substitutes

Jérémie Boga - 7.5: What an impact. Came on in the 62nd minute and completely changed the game. His goal to make it 3-2 gave Juventus belief and was the catalyst for the comeback. A brilliant, game-changing substitution.

Federico Gatti - 8.0: The hero of the hour. Came on in the 88th minute and scored the dramatic equalizer in the 93rd. You cannot ask for more from a substitute. He rescued a point from the jaws of defeat with his poacher's instinct.

Edon Zhegrova, Fabio Miretti, Loïs Openda - N/A: All played their part in the frantic finale, adding energy and pinning Roma back, contributing to the pressure that eventually told.

Manager

L. Spalletti - 7.5: His team looked dead and buried at 3-1 down, and his starting lineup didn't quite click. However, his substitutions were an absolute masterstroke. Bringing on Boga and Gatti, who both scored, was a tactical masterclass that earned his side a valuable and unlikely point. He deserves huge credit for the comeback.
