Simon Kjaer was heavily praised for his performance in last night’s 1-0 victory against Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano.
MilanNews have compiled his ratings from the papers, with La Gazzetta dello Sport giving him a 7 out of 10 and writing: “Leave the ball to him when chaos reigns, and he will put it in the bank.”
Il Corriere dello Sport (7) said his ‘head and foot is the usual guarantee’ adding that he ‘didn’t miss a point’. Il Corriere della Sera (7.5) writes: “Tactical and character leader, always anticipates Suarez and Griezmann.”
MilanNews (7.5) went further by writing: “He will have an important weight in the hand luggage that he brings to Milan: Luis Suarez.”
I wonder how we got this guy so cheap.
He was my MVP last night, he was imperious. Best defensive performance in our colours since Baresi or Maldini. He was that good last night.
You can say that again @Carlo.
His composure was second to none.
Great positioning.
Read the game perfectly.
His switch long balls were on point.
I could have gave him MOTM but, Kessie was a beast last night.
