Player Ratings: Torino 0-7 AC Milan – Rebic shines with hat-trick; Theo outstanding

By Isak Möller -

Milan secured a big win this evening as they scored seven goals in Turin, completely crushing Torino in what was an exciting game but one-side game. Down below are the player ratings for the Rossoneri.

Starting XI

Donnarumma (7): Solid as ever between the sticks and was only forced to a few saves throughout the game. He was very good in the build-up and really showed that he has improved his passing a lot.

Calabria (7): The right-back really deserves a spot in Italy’s squad for the Euros this summer, putting in yet another good performance this evening. Always calm under pressure and had a goal ruled out because his toe was offside.

Kjaer (7): The defence wasn’t put to the test that much so for the ratings, more focus will be put on the build-up and the contribution there. In addition to keeping the clean sheet, the Dane was one of the main men in the build-up with his passing.

Tomori (7): Just like his colleague, he was solid in the defensive situations and also added a dimension to the build-up. He was almost always available and drove forward with the ball on a few occasions to open some space.

Hernandez (8): If it hadn’t been for Rebic’s hat-trick, Theo would have been the MOTM as he was outstanding from start to finish, taken off after 69 minutes. Scored two lovely goals, one with power and one with finesse, and was important for Milan.

Bennacer (6.5): The Algerian was subbed off at half-time as he was booked and also received a knock in the first half. Solid performance from what we saw, but nothing spectacular either.

Kessie (7.5): Il Presidente made up for his mistake against Juventus as he converted a penalty this evening, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way. He also got a good assist for Diaz’ goal, winning the ball high up the pitch. Very good performance.

Castillejo (6.5): The Spaniard did very well to help set up the fifth goal but he’s way too inconsistent in his actions. I guess that’s what you can expect from his playing style, but it also prevents him from getting a higher rating.

Diaz (7.5): Another very good display from the Real Madrid loanee who got on the scoresheet once again and also bagged an assist. In his last three starts, he has three goals and one assist, impressing the Milan management.

Calhanoglu (7): The Turk was involved in a lot this evening and was an important player on the pitch for the Rossoneri. However, you could see that he was disappointed not to get a point, subbed off in the 69th minute.

Rebic (8.5 – MOTM): Always on the move and often drifted out wide to confuse the Torino defence. Got an assist at the start of the second half and then bagged three goals himself, getting the job done very nicely in Ibrahimovic’s absence. Hopefully, he can continue like this.

Substitutes

Meite (6.5): Came on to replace Bennacer and it didn’t really change how the game went. He did well, bar a few lost balls, and most notably sent Leao running for the sixth goal that Rebic scored.

Krunic (7): The Bosnian impressed against Juventus and did so tonight as well, assisting two of Rebic’s goal and showing his composure on the ball. You can see why Pioli likes to sub him on, that’s for sure.

Leao (6.5): Admittedly, we didn’t see much of the youngster this evening (hence the rating) but he excelled when he was put into play, assisting Rebic’s second goal. It was the perfect type of game for him, shame he didn’t get the ball more.

Dalot (6.5): Nothing spectacular from the Portuguese but exactly what was needed as Singo tried some last moves for Torino. Was involved in the seventh goal as well with a nice cross into the box.

Mandzukic (N/A): We didn’t see enough of him.

    1. If we loose the champions league spot then #Pioliout. When you think about that we were number one after 19 games and now we are fighting every game to secure a spot in the champions league is disappointing. It was all to bad signings. We could have won the league if we got better players.
      As long as we qualify to champions league then he will be safe. The same goes for Maldini. Champions league is important to get good players.
      Forza Milan. Keep the good work.

    2. is still on
      this was on the players, not on him and on Torino being as they were

      he still didn’t adapt the formation and in the first half we were being chocked in the midfield again

      The last round of subs made no sense either and it gets me every time he’s omitting Hauge (if not today, then when?!) – Mandzukic is a goner for the next season

  1. How can you not consider Hakan’s howler of a pass right in front of dunnarumma?? If not for Gigi, that mistake alone could have made the game 2-1 and changed the entire dynamic. After that, a 7 rating for Calhanoglu is irrational.

  2. there is something crucial about Juventus to Milan. Last year as we won them 4-2, we went on unbeaten until we lost against them. And now as we won them again, we look like an invincible team. Also please stop the nonsense “if we lose, it’s because of Pioli. If we won, it’s because of the players”.

    1. 3 shots, 3 goals. 1 assist. Sent Castillejo on a breakaway where the penalty was awarded. Assisted Calabria’s disallowed goal. Put the ball on a silver plate for Kessie who somehow missed the tap-in.

      Yeah… Only worth an 8… FFS! What more you want from him?!

  3. Sempre milan. Il president almost broke his legs trying to score with left foot. So funny player. Can someone tell kessie he is not box to box and he must not go forward. He humiliates himself. 11 goals and 10 penalties . Sell him and bring milikovic-savic

      1. Tell me what is his goal contribution all this time in milan? A modern midfielder needs everything. Attack and defence. Kessie is below average in defense and one of the worst players in serie a in attack. I am right?
