Player Ratings: Juventus 1-0 Sturm Graz (3-1 Agg.)

A little bit of magic from Alessandro Del Piero lifted the Bianconeri past their Austrian counterparts. Goal.com rates the players on show...

By David Schiavone

Marco Storari
183
11
6.0

A little unsure as Graz peppered the box during the opening exchanges, but carried on despite being injured.

Marco Motta
137
101
5.5

A revelation going forward but neglects defensive duties at times.

Leonardo Bonucci
241
9
6.0

A rock in the heart of the defence, composed and brought the ball out from the back well.

Giorgio Chiellini
244
11
6.5

Made one mistake that could have cost Juve, but he recovered well and led Juve from the back.

Paolo De Ceglie
159
24
6.0

More assured at the back than in the first leg, but still a liability defensively. Got forward well after the break.

Simone Pepe
204
55
6.0

Magnificent down the right flank, worked hard and always wanted the ball. If only his final pass was as good.

Felipe Melo
375
14
7.0

Provided the springboard for Juve attacks and created a formidable partnership with Sissoko.

Mohamed Lamine Sissoko
229
11
6.5

A battering ram, never gave up the ball and snuffed out most Graz attacks.

Jorge Andrés Martínez
202
28
6.5

Decent on the left, but came into his own when operating from the middle after the break.

Alessandro Del Piero
570
14
7.5

A talisman and inspiration for his team, scored the winner and always a threat.

Amauri
169
54
6.5

Forced off just before half-time due to injury, was promising but his finishing is still lacking.

• Substitutions
Manuel Giandonato
107
15
6.0

Late replacement for Melo.

Davide Lanzafame
148
35
6.0

Excellent when he came on and could have had a goal if not for woeful finishing.

Christian Gratzei
34
9
7.0

Produced a number of excellent saves and kept the score down considerably, especially in the second half.

Joachim Standfest
7
11
5.0

Did alright in the first half against Martinez and Pepe, but couldn't find that attacking threat which was so potent in the first leg. Capitulated in the second half as Juve exploited his flank.

Thomas Burgstaller
6
12
5.5

Almost static in the centre of defence as Juventus passed around him with ease. Del Piero in particular was enjoying the duel.

Gordon Schildenfeld
7
9
6.0

Was pretty solid in the air but found the Juventus counterattacks a nightmare in the second period.

Dominic Pürcher
3
15
6.0

Got forward but left gaps in behind. Given a torrid time by Pepe.

Martin Ehrenreich
5
13
5.5

Not much of a threat all evening before being hooked in the second half

Manuel Weber
6
12
6.0

Tried his best to support the attack and had some joy in the opening exchanges but ultimately overran by Sissoko and Melo in the middle.

Mario Kienzl
6
11
5.5

Couldn't get into the game much due to the dominant Juve pairing in central midfield.

Haris Bukva
8
8
6.0

Got in behind Motta during the first half, but couldn't sustain his performance and was replaced by Klem.

Roman Kienast
7
12
6.0

Worked hard but couldn't provide the finishing touch in the first half and by the second was chasing shadows.

Imre Szabics
8
12
6.5

Could have changed the game had he not hit the post. Bright opening but faded and eventually replaced by Haas.

• Substitutions
Florian Kainz
7

5.5

Tried his best to help Graz gain an element of control but was ineffectual.

Christian Klem

11
5.5

Unable to compete with a rampant Juventus.

Mario Haas

5.5

Could not do anything as Juve powered on in the second period.
