Juve Player Ratings

Szczęsny – Not really tested in the opening half, such was Juve’s dominance for 40 minutes. Same in second half. 6.0/10

Cuadrado – Played in a decent deep cross for Rabiot that should have been converted before getting an assist for the Juve opener. Really poor work for the Genoa goal when he simply had to do better. 6.5/10

Bonucci – Important interception when Genoa did finally start pressing but shouldn’t have picked up a yellow. 6.5/10

De Ligt – Didn’t seem too pressured in the opening half and once again showed how much of a presence he can be at corners in the opposition half. 7.0/10

Danilo – A mixed bag – some really decent runs, but he wasted the chances when he got into the final third, including skying a great chance when he was in on goal. 5.5/10

Midfield:

Rabiot – Looked a little out of sorts to begin with but grew into the game and had a decent headed effort that was saved by Perin. His best game so far. 6.5/10

Pjanic – A little more in form with some tidy passes but nothing to penetrate the stubborn Genoa defence. Got an assist on Ronaldo’s goal. 6.5/10

Bentancur – Pushed forward early on and seemed at the heart of Juve’s passing game in the opposition half – Made a great recovery to win the ball back but the attack led to nothing. More of the same in the second half, smart, tidy, efficient work. 6.5/10

Forwards:

Cristiano Ronaldo – Looked bright and full of invention with three decent chances to score in the first half alone. Much better in the second and score a rocket. 8.0/10

Bernardeschi – Better than the last match and forced a decent stop from Perin and his overall movement was better, despite no end product. 6.0/10

Dybala – Some good link up play and created the only good chance in the first half. Started the second half much brighter and carved open the Genoa defence to give Juve the lead with a wonderful solo effort. 8.0/10

Substitutes:

Costa – Added some extra pace and directness to Juve’s attack and finally got a goal of his own with a ridiculous finish. 7.0/10

Ramsey – 6.0/10

Higuain – 6.0/10

Matuidi – N/A

Oliveri – N/A
