Roma v Austria Vienna: Six papers pick their star man

Despite a Stephan El Shaarawy double and Alessandro Florenzi's cracking volley, Roma only had a point to show for their efforts against Austria Vienna



This morning's newspapers seem to agree on who Roma's best player was on Thursday night...

Il Corriere della Sera: El Shaarawy 7.5

“Two fine goals that came just at the right time. With Perotti out injured, it's up to him now. Shame his brace wasn't enough to earn what looked to be three easy points.”

Il Corriere dello Sport: El Shaarawy 7.5

“Two chances, two top-notch lobs and there you have his first two European goals for Roma. Applauded off the pitch.”

La Gazzetta dello Sport: El Shaarawy 7

“This was his chance and boy did he take it. Sitting in halfway between Stryger Larsen and Filipovic he exploited the space to great effect. Scored his first European double.”

Il Messaggero: El Shaarawy 7

“He has Gerson and Totti to thank for those two assists served up on a plate but he kept his cool and scored the goals that turned the match around.”

Il Tempo: El Shaarawy 7.5

“His pace was Roma's main threat up front. Chipped the onrushing keeper after collecting Gerson's inch-perfect ball then coolly finished from Totti's assist.”

Tuttosport: El Shaarawy 7.5

“His message to Spalletti is loud and clear: he thinks he deserves a starting spot. After last night's performance he really should get more of a look-in in the games that matter.”
