The draw against Napoli leaves mixed feelings in the Nerazzurri camp. According to Corriere dello Sport, the best player on the field was Federico Dimarco, who opened the scoring. The winger earned a 7 in the ratings: “Second consecutive goal, this time with his more refined foot. He repeatedly breaks through on the left, slipping between Di Lorenzo and Beukema.”
On the other hand, Nicolò Barella was the worst among the Nerazzurri with a 5. The midfielder played the most advanced role, leaving Calhanoglu and Zielinski to manage the play. “The problem is that he is overpowered by McTominay and does not adequately cover Lang on the 2-2,” reads the newspaper’s assessment.
As for Cristian Chivu, the rating stops at 6: “Once again, he does not win a direct clash, wasting the chance to pull away. At least he doesn’t lose, so the lead in the standings remains unchanged. Two defensive blunders were decisive.”
The other ratings assigned by Corriere dello Sport see Sommer at 6, Bisseck 5.5, Akanji 5.5, Bastoni 5.5, Luis Henrique 6, Calhanoglu 6.5, Sucic unrated, Zielinski 6, Mkhitaryan 6.5, Carlos Augusto unrated, Thuram 6, Esposito unrated, Lautaro 5.5 and Bonny unrated.
