Pulisic and Bartesaghi struggle massively: Milan-Juventus player ratings from the Italian papers

AC Milan drew with Juventus last night in a pretty low quality game. As a result, the average ratings across the board are not too high.

It is fair to say that Milan’s draw against Juventus last night was one of the worst games of the season, at least in terms of entertainment. Neither team offered much going forwards and it was not a game where you’d be rushing to watch it back.

Chances were few and far between, with neither team having a moment of true quality. Saying that, it was one of the purest forms of Allegri ball that we have seen all season, if there were any doubts about the team’s motivations to play his football.

The Ratings

Below, we have compiled all the ratings from the game, from the big Italian papers: Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport, as seen below. Indeed, the ratings are not too different from what we gave the team ourselves last night.

Adrien Rabiot and Alexis Saelemaekers were generally considered the best of a mediocre performance. On the other hand, Niclas Füllkrug, Christian Pulisic and Davide Bartesaghi were viewed quite badly.
