Genoa v Roma: 6 newspapers reveal their Man of the Match

Genoa v Roma: 6 newspapers reveal their Man of the Match

Luciano Spalletti’s Roma side battled back to beat Genoa 3-2 on Monday to keep their hopes of snatching second place from Napoli alive. But who did the Italian papers pick out as their man of the match?

Let’s see who six papers chose.

Corriere dello Sport: Stephan El Shaarawy 7.5

“Needed to re-cement his place in the side after being called into question in recent weeks. Showed great motivation from the off and contributed to the opening goal. Was a real menace and tried his luck to no avail on a number of occasions. Grabbed a well-deserved goal at the death.”

Corriere della Sera: Francesco Totti 7.5

“Half an hour and a goal. Once more he saves Roma".

La Gazzetta dello Sport: Francesco Totti 7.5

“It was his free-kick goal that sparked the fightback, but as soon as he came onto the pitch he changed the game and struck fear into Genoa hearts.”

Il Messaggero: Wojciech Szczesny 7.5

“Did fantastically to stop Suso’s curling shot but was powerless to prevent Panagiotis Tachtsidis and Leonardo Pavoletti from scoring. His late save to deny Diego Capel was worth a goal.”

Il Tempo: Francesco Totti 7

“The man of divine providence. The match changed after his rasping free-kick, which fired Roma towards their comeback.”

TuttoSport: Francesco Totti 8

“The marvellous, eternal Francesco. He came on and changed the game.”
