#1 Chiellini's masterclass
If there is one person who can go away from this game with absolute satisfaction, it has to be Giorgio Chiellini. Even then, he would regret the one goal they conceded. That's why Chiellini deserves to be praised.
He started the game rather shakey but as time went on, Chiellini grew larger and more confident and it showed. He bossed the game for the last 20 minutes, and along with Barzagli and Sandro, dove in front of every ball that had a chance of going towards the goal.
Chiellini's stats prove the same: 4 tackles, 2 interceptions, 13 clearances, 4 aerial duels won and 51 completed passes (59 attempted passes). It was a performance worthy of Man of the Match and rightly awarded so.
As Juventus proceed further into the UCL, Chiellini will become much more important to the team - it will fall to him to shut out the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool if they get drawn together.
