Media View: The papers choose their best performer from Juventus v Roma

The papers choose their best performer from Juventus v Roma

Spalletti's men may have lost at Juventus Stadium but two Giallorossi players emerged with credit in this morning's press

Here are the views of eight national newspapers.

Corriere dello Sport – Wojciech Szczesny: 7.5

“Switched on between the sticks, at fault with his distribution. He was ready for Gonzalo Higuain's volleyed effort whereas he could do nothing about the Argentine's winner. He avoided a second after the break with two great saves from Stefano Sturaro.”

Gazzetta dello Sport – Szczesny: 7

“Without him Roma would have conceded two or three. Two key saves from Sturaro and a piece of brilliance to deny Higuain in the first half, even though it wouldn't have counted with El Pipita in an offside position.”

Corriere della Sera – Szczesny: 7

“Good save from Higuain but soon after came an unstoppable effort. Two wonder saves from Sturaro in terms of reflexes and technique. He kept his side in the game until the end.”

Il Giornale – Szczesny: 7

“Switched on from Higuain's curling effort on 10 minutes, he sorted out a few issues and did excellently from Sturaro.”

Il Tempo – Nainggolan: 7

“Occasionally it feels like he's the only one who can inspire Roma. He was the sole player to get forward and look to shot. He took a knock after the break but never gave up.”

Il Messaggero – Szczesny: 7

“Some hairy moments on the ball stemming from overconfidence. He did well to get down and keep out Higuain's volley before conceding the opener. Excellent couple of saves from Sturaro after the break.”

La Stampa – Szczesny: 7

“Impossible to stop El Pipita's thumping drive. He was always alert elsewhere though. Crucial save from Sturaro.”

Tuttosport – Szczesny: 7

“He was involved early on, keeping out Higuain's powerful effort but he could nothing when El Pipita decided to turn match winner. Two massive saves from Sturaro.”
