Here are the report cards for the first leg of the quarter-finals of Champions League between Milan e Napoli, a match won 1-0 by the Rossoneri thanks to a goal by Bennacer at 40'.
Article Key Points
Kim nervous, naive yellow. Mario Rui misses the goal
Meret: 6. He tries with his foot on Bennacer's stone, but it's not enough.
For the rest, he was called upon to make few interventions given Milan's few shots on target.
By Lorenzo: 6. He holds his own against Leao, he is also seen a lot going forward and in the final moments he comes within centimetres of 1-1, forcing Maignan to perform a real miracle.
Rahmani: 6. A very tough match, Leao escapes him midway through the first half, then he keeps a good watch on Giroud and the other attackers in turn.
Kim: 5,5. Honest race, but the vote is inevitably negative due to the useless and largely avoidable protest that cost him a yellow card: he will miss the return match.
Mario Rui: 5. He rises a lot in the construction phase, wasting after 1' from inside the area, he doesn't find the decisive play and on the occasion of the goal he leaves the space that condemns Napoli (from 81' Olivera: sv).
Anguissa, heavy red. The attack struggles without Osimhen
Anguissa: 5. It starts well, even worrying Maignan at the start of the match and with many important bursts that put the Rossoneri in difficulty.
Then Theo Hernandez escapes him twice and he commits two serious fouls: double yellow and red.
Lobotka: 6. Compared to the league match he manages to play more balls and get the team moving better. And in fact the opportunities arrive in abundance.
Zielinski: 6. At the start he almost scored and forced Maignan into a great save, he dropped as the minutes went by (from the 81st minute Ndombele: 6,5).
Lozano: 5,5. He approaches the match well by creating more than one thought on that side and engaging in a nervous duel with Theo Hernandez.
He then dropped in the second half (from 69' Raspadori: 6).
Elmas: 5,5. Wrestling match in a new and particular role for him, sometimes paired with Kvara and other times with Lozano. Only one occasion, nothing special.
Kvaratskhelia: 5,5. The mistake with the goal at bay weighs heavily, but Napoli relies entirely on his shoulders and his plays.
Sometimes they arrive, other times they are well contained by Calabria and whoever is responsible in those parts (from 81' Politano: 6,5).
