A 6.5 was given to Davide Calabria, Rade Krunic and Ante Rebic, while a 6 went to Ciprian Tatarusanu, Fikayo Tomori, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Franck Kessie and Oliver Giroud. A 5.5 went to Alessio Romagnoli, Alexis Saelemaekers and Ismael Bennacer, and a 5 was given to Daniel Maldini and Fode Ballo-Touré, who both did not convince.
