GdS: Milan player ratings for Torino win – three players impress

AC Milan finally got their second win of 2023 as they beat Torino 1-0 at San Siro on Friday night thanks to a goal from Olivier Giroud in the second half. 

This morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (as seen below) contains the ratings that have been given to each Milan player and the coach after the positive display.

Three players stood out above the rest as they received a rating of 7/10. They were goalscorer Giroud, centre-back Malick Thiaw, and fellow defender Pierre Kalulu who looked back to his best.

Sandro Tonali and Theo Hernandez both showed improvement compared to recent weeks and they received 6.5, which is the same rating that Stefano Pioli received.

Whilst the points were crucial, the overall performance was not thrilling, meaning many players were given 6/10. They were Ciprian Tatrusanu in goal, Alexis Saelemaekers, Rade Krunic, Brahim Diaz, Matteo Gabbia and Charles De Ketelaere.

Two players still really struggled to show their best form and they were Simon Kjaer (5.5) and Rafael Leao (5).
