Tops / Flops Juventus-Porto: heroic Porto, Cristiano Ronaldo absent

2021-03-09T23:43:29.295Z


The heroic match of Porto, the very poor performance of Cristiano Ronaldo and Federico Chiesa lonely: find the Tops and Flops of the editorial staff at the end of this match between Juventus Turin and FC Porto (3-2).


Tops  

Sergio Oliveira, the hero


Sergio Oliveira is obviously the hero of this meeting.

With a brace that qualifies his team for the first quarter-finals since 2015, the Portuguese symbolizes the courage and intelligence shown by the Porto players.

His free kick (115th) is wonderfully well played, under the wall.

A very great game.  

Sanusi, twirling 


While they had not won away in a knockout match since 2005 (13 games), the Porto players were able to count on a capital performance from Sanusi, the Nigerian left side.

He put to death a Cuadrado, quite inspired offensively with an assist, but whose defensive limits were highlighted on Tuesday.  

Chiesa, the one who kept alive


Luckily for Chiesa, a football match lasts 90 minutes, this Tuesday night 120, and the last 57 of the former Fiorentina have been absolutely lavish.

The Turin winger carried his team, scoring an absolutely saving double (49th, 63rd), keeping the Turinese head above water while Morata and Cristiano Ronaldo were particularly transparent and clumsy.

It is ultimately insufficient and Juventus Turin is eliminated in the round of 16.  

Flops  

Cristiano Ronaldo and Morata, harmless 


Both Juve strikers were absent.

Morata could have opened the scoring very quickly (3rd) but he was clumsy.

The Spaniard had more situations than the Portuguese but could not convert them.

Cristiano Ronaldo has brought him almost nothing.

His match is like a failed control, quite simple, in overtime.  

The first period of Juventus


If Juve could very quickly have led to the score thanks to Morata and drastically changed the history of this match (3rd), they then never knew how to confirm this very good start to the match.

Uncreative and inspired, the Old Lady was also weighed down by a very poor performance from Demiral, the central defender, who caused, among other things, the penalty.

In the first period, midfielder Arthur-Rabiot seemed to purr on numerous occasions.
