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

Atalanta MOTM

Roma secured a late 3-3 draw at Atalanta on Sunday lunchtime, but who did the Italian press pick out as the best Giallorossi player on the park?

Six daily newspapers have named their choice:

Corriere dello Sport: Francesco Totti 7.5

“Set himself up in midfield and laid down the law. Scored an important goal that keeps Roma in the hunt and moves him up to 301 career goals. But that wasn’t all – he also produced a sumptuous assist for [Edin] Dzeko which could have won the match, while there was another that his team-mates got to late."

Corriere della Sera: Francesco Totti 7.5

“Turned the match around almost single-handedly. If Dzeko had finished off his assist then it would have been a crowning moment for Totti."

La Gazzetta dello Sport: Francesco Totti 7

“Had barely been on the pitch for seven minutes before he scored the decisive goal to make it 3-3 – and it was a lovely one too. Played almost as a second deep-lying midfielder during the final assault, producing a couple of inspired passes."

Il Mesaggero: Francesco Totti 7

“Ten minutes, two key contributions – the goal to make it 3-3 and the pass to Dzeko to (nearly) make it 4-3.”

Il Tempo: Diego Perotti 7

“Got his finishing wrong but everything else was spot on. The only one to keep a level head throughout the 90 minutes, he was a constant threat to Atalanta.”

TuttoSport: Francesco Totti 7

“Like the top player he is he needed just 15 minutes to score the equaliser and produce a perfect assist for Dzeko.”
