Juventus Player Ratings vs Inter: Conceicao and Yildiz Shine in Marvelous Derby d’Italia

In what was an instant classic, Inter and Juventus shared the spoils at San Siro at the end of an extraordinary encounter that went beyond the neutral’s wildest dreams. The Nerazzurri had a 3-2 lead following a back-and-forth first half, and they surely thought they had it in the bag when Denzel Dumfries scored the fourth. Nevertheless, Kenan Yildiz’s introduction exceeded Thiago Motta’s expectations, as the Turkish teenager struck twice to salvage a result for the visitors. So here are our player ratings for Juventus who remain undefeated in Serie A following a se nsational 4-4 draw against Inter in the Derby d’Italia.

Juventus (4-2-3-1)

Michele Di Gregorio – 6.5

Despite conceding four goals, the Italian goalkeeper can leave the pitch with his head held high. After all, none of the goals were his fault, and he then produced a couple of jaw-dropping saves to keep his side in the match while the scoreline was 4-2.

Andrea Cambiaso – 6

The former Genoa man was often second best to his Italy teammate Federico Dimarco, but he still his moments, like playing a part in the last equalizer.

Pierre Kalulu – 5.5

The Frenchman has been highly impressive since joining Juventus, but looked shaky at the back this time. Failed to prevent Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s strike and gifted Inter a second spot-kick with a clumsy challenge.

Danilo – 5

Another torrid evening for the Juventus captain who was too slow to react to the ball and ended up giving away a penalty kick. Struggled all night against Marcus Thuram’s superior pace.

Juan Cabal – 6

A mixed bag from the Colombian who wasn’t too convincing at the back (especially on Dumfries’ goal), but played an instrumental role in Juve’s first and fourth goals.

Weston McKennie – 6

Similar to Cabal. the American had his moments upfront, particularly the exquisite one-touch assist to Vlahovic on the first goal. But lost track of Mkhitaryan on Inter’s second.

Manuel Locatelli – 6

The Euro 2020 winner didn’t make himself noticed when Juventus had the ball, but did his best to limit Barella’s danger. Kept a cool head when his team seemed lost on the pitch.

Francisco Conceicao – 8

A majestic display from the Portuguese who created the second goal for Weah almost out of nothing, and also delivered the assist for the last equalizer. Prior to Yildiz’s introduction, he seemed to be Juve’s solitary source of inspiration.

Nicolò Fagioli – 5

A listless display from the midfielder who was charged with tracking Piotr Zielinski, but failed to produce next to nothing on the ball.

Timothy Weah – 6.5

The former Lille man sneaked behind the Inter defenders to poach the second Juventus goal, and almost found the top corner with a long-range screamer. Nevertheless, he was one of the culprits on the opener, as he couldn’t hamper Benjamin Pavard’s run.

Dusan Vlahovic – 6.5

The Serbian had only one chance to score, and although it wasn’t the neatest of finishes, he managed to find the back of the net on the half-volley. Worked hard for the cause before leaving his place for Mbangula.

Substitutes

Nicolò Savona – 6

The young fullback had one or two shaky moments, but did well to plug the holes on the right flank.

Kenan Yildiz – 8

The teenager showcased why he inherited the iconic Juventus Number 10 with a sensational cameo. Revived what seemed to be a lost cause by scoring twice with his weaker foot.

Federico Gatti – N/A

Samuel Mbangula – N/A

Khephren Thuram – N/A
