Real Madrid v Roma: 6 newspapers reveal their Man of the Match

Real v Roma, the best Giallorossi player according to the papers

Here's who six of Italy's national newspapers rated as Roma's top performer on the night

Il Corriere dello Sport: Zukanovic 6.5

“It was his first-ever Champions League appearance yet he displayed character and was alert. Antonio Rudiger wasn't missed.”

Il Corriere della Sera: Szczesny 7

“As safe as houses for 60 minutes, he almost lost an eye when CR7 appeared in front of him for the goal. He let James' effort beat him but it was all over by then.”

La Gazzetta dello Sport: Perotti 6.5

“Flitting around behind the front man, he ran more and created more than anyone else. He oozed confidence and class, was at the heart of Roma's most dangerous moves and was denied a goal by the post at the end. The last one to surrender.”

Il Messaggero: Szczesny 6.5

“He kept Roma in it with three saves in the first half to deny Luka Modric's long-range effort, Cristiano Ronaldo's right-footed blast and another solo effort from the Portuguese. He again did well to thwart CR7 and then James after the break before ultimately being beaten by Ronaldo and James. Reactive.”

La Repubblica: Szczesny 7

“A hard day's work, as he probably expected. He didn't put a glove wrong.”

Il Tempo: Keita 6,5

“If they had all displayed the same calm on the ball as he did, the tie might have gone differently. He dictated the tempo with his clean passing.”
