Julio Cesar: 6
Good reaction on Del Piero, and he was a spectator until the break. In the second half, two good saves on Canavaro and Diego but those were predictable shots. Never fear for him.
Lucio: 6.5
Usually at risk because he often engaged in risky ball dribbling in the situation when he just should clear it. But he has heart and was very effective.
Samuel: 6.5
In addition of being the wall in the defense, he was also noted for a couple of raids in the area of Buffon. He almost got it on target in the second half.
Zanetti: 6.5
When you see the progression at the 40th minute in the second half, his pace was quicker than half of the Juve players, you can't help but wonder: was this man raised on Mars? :shades:
Cambiasso: 6.5
Another useful and intelligent performance by this super skilled worker. In the first half, he was a risked on a few situations but in the second half he gave the impetus to initiatives.
Motta: 6
Play only in the first half partly because he was with a yellow. Mou fears that after Sissoko, the referee may be tempted to balance the game.
Eto'o: 6
Was very generous, almost across the field. The great run led im to a mother of all chances but he missed it badly. He redeems himself at the last minute.
Sneijder: 5.5
It was an evening with little inspiration. Was like a stranger in the first half, revived in the second when the Bianconeri were in distress.
Muntari: NA
Pandev: 5
Confirming that he is not physically fit to perform the job by starting over Balotelli. Mou continues to trust him though. Oh well...
Milito: 5
The movements are always useful and intelligent for maneuvering. However, he needs a couple of extra training sessions on... shooting. Can not continue to pull these elementary mistakes.
Stankovic: 6
Came on after the break and at the 19th minute Buffon was required a feat to stop his shot from twenty meters out. Committed an unnecessary foul on the edge of the PK area that shook San Siro in fear.
Balotelli: 6.5
His main contribution was the free-kick which turn Buffon to stone. Very lively at creating.
Maicon: 7.5
He scores a goal in the most delicate moment of the game, that is when the team needed it the most. It was a masterpiece like... Messi's. Juggling it three times and then took a right footed which has pace and very precise.
Mourinho: 6
He got all three points needed to put pressure on leaders. The change of Pandev-Balotelli could have been done a lot earlier. Leaving Balotelli on the bench now just doesn't make sense.
Overall: 6.5
Suffered too much, then they used the numerical superiority to their advantage.
