Manninger: 6.0- Was solid between the posts once again and could do nothing about the two goals that beat him tonight.
Molinaro: 7.0- Did his job effectively and without any fuss but was troubled by Shevchenko a couple of times in the second half.
Mellberg: 7.0- The no nonsense defender stood tall and proud and won everything in the air that came his way tonight.
Chiellini: 8.0- Was a tower of power on the backline and chipped in with a great downward header to give his team a lead they never relinquished.
Grygera: 7.0- The Czech defender pushed forward at will and did not let Jankulovski trouble him at all tonight
Nedved: 6.0- Had to leave the match with a muscle problem but will nonetheless enjoy the final result.
Marchisio: 8.0- He plays in the mould of former legend Marco Tardelli and his confidence is growing with every passing match. A ground breaking performance tonight..
Sissoko: 8.0- Juve’s midfield general directed traffic and set up Amauri’s second goal with a nice through ball.
Marchionni: 7.0- His set pieces were effective and did well patrolling the right flank this evening.
Del Piero: 8.0- The Juve captain rolled back the years this evening slotting home a high pressure penalty to open the scoring and was unlucky not to hit his brace as he smashed a shot against the post in the second half.
Amauri: 8.0- The big man threw his weight around up front and was rewarded with two goals. Might have been the signing of the summer as he has been astounding this season.
SUBS: De Ceglie (30”) 8.0, Zanetti (88”) NA, Iaquinta (89”) NA
AC MILAN
Abbiati: 5.0- Will be furious with his back line who left him for dead tonight.
Jankulovski: 4.0- He conceded the penalty with a sloppy challenge on Del Piero and was a liability all evening long.
Maldini: 5.0- It may be time for the living legend to hang his boots up as he was run ragged in the first half before rebounding with a decent second half performance
Kaladze: 6.0- Played an important part in Milan’s first goal as he did the dirty work before finding Ronaldinho who set up Pato.
Zambrotta: 4.0- A performance to forget by the former Juve man as he was jeered every time he touched the ball and was embarrassed by young De Ceglie time after time before receiving his marching orders
Ambrosini: 6.0- He was awful in the first half as he missed a glorious free header and failed to pick up Chiellini’s run for Juve’s second goal of the match but rebounded with a solid second 45 minutes highlighted by his goal in the 56th minute
Emerson: 4.5- Was preferred over Flamini who was suspended this evening and was substituted to start the second half after an ineffective first half.
Pirlo: 5.0- We have yet to see the Pirlo of old as the Milan midfielder struggled once again to make an impression tonight.
Seedorf: 6.0- He was very lively in the early going but faded badly in the second half when Milan needed a creative presence.
Ronaldinho: 6.5- His picture perfect cross set up Pato’s goal early in the first half but was rendered ineffective after that.
Pato: 6.5- Scored Milan’s first goal of the match with a simple finish, but did not trouble the Juve backline as much as he should have.
SUBS: Shevchenko (46”) 6.0, Antonini (73”) 6.0, Inzaghi (76”) 6.0
