LW: Cristiano Ronaldo 8/10

Cristiano Ronaldo was the lone bright spot in this match for Juve’s attack. He was the only player to register a shot on target for Juve and scored their only goal of the day. As usual, Ronaldo was the most dangerous attacking player for Juve, but just like the rest of the team he offered very little in the second half. He’s got a return to Old Trafford coming up on Tuesday and he’ll need to put in a more complete 90 minutes to really make that return count.

ST: Mario Mandzukic 6/10

This was an odd match for Mandzukic. He got plenty of accurate service in the box, but was just unable to do anything even remotely dangerous with it. He seemed off throughout the match and unfortunately this was a match where Juve could’ve really used more from him. It wasn’t his best day for Juve, but there is surely better to come in the near future.

RW: Juan Cuadrado 6.5/10

I just don’t get it anymore. For most of the season Federico Bernardeschi has struggled to consistently crack the starting lineup because Paulo Dybala has been starting over him. Now he still can’t even get into the starting lineup when Dybala is hurt. Not only should Bernardeschi have started over Cuadrado, but Cuadrado didn’t even do anything in this match to make me feel differently. Joao Cancelo was the creative force down the right side and if it weren’t for my anger over Cuadrado starting I would’ve completely forgotten about his presence. Allegri messed it up with this decision and the team paid the price.
