Il Corriere dello Sport: Szczesny 7.5
Qualification comes down to him. He played a lot with the ball at his feet to create an extra man when keeping possession, in the hope of a quiet night. However, after spending the first period as a virtual spectator, he had to produce a massive save to haul Roma back from the abyss. Alert moments later to deny Mladenovic too. At full time they all headed over to congratulate him.
Il Messaggero: Szczesny 7.5
His stop from Gordeychuk is worth €15 million. Brilliant.
Il Corriere della Sera: Szczesny 8
He banished the memory of his worst game for the Giallorossi (the reverse fixture in Belarus) with two saves worth a combined €14 million, one of which was a wonder stop. Saviour.
La Gazzetta dello Sport: Szczesny 7.5
The reverse fixture triggered the start of a bad run of form that saw him dropped. This time, however, he was the hero of the hour with two wonder saves from Gordiechuk and Mladenovic which put Roma in the last 16.
Il Giornale: Szczesny 7
Massive stop in the second half from Gordeychuk's side-foot effort. Accurate with his kicking at last.
Tuttosport: Szczesny 8
His save from Gordeychuk has paid his transfer fee should the club make the deal permanent. Now they have to convince him and Arsenal.
Il Tempo: Szczesny 8
He starred in the second half with two wonder saves from Gordeychuk and Mladenovic. Given the significance of the draw, qualification is down to him.
