ROMA
Artur- 7.5: The keeper made some outstanding saves during the match, notably from Kaka, Pato and Ambrosini. However, he often opted to punch the ball rather than catch it, causing confusion for the defenders.
Motta- 6.0: A good showing, even if he tired near the end. He made some crucial tackles to stop the Rossoneri's attacks.
Mexes- 6.5: The French centre-back was imperious, dispossessing his opponents on many occasions.
Juan- 6.0: The Brazilian made a successful comeback. He was able to last nearly 70 minutes in a tough battle at the San Siro.
Riise- 7.5: The Norwegian was influential today, firing in a trademark stunning free-kick to open the scoring and also doing well on the counter attack, assisting the Giallorossi's second goal as well.
Cassetti- 3.5: The player was not a factor and was hardly involved in the proceedings. The worst on the pitch.
Pizarro- 7.0: The former Inter and Udinese man dictated the play in midfield, always able to move the ball forward.
Brighi- 5.5: He has had a breakout year, but was overrun in the second half when the Rossoneri were pushing for goals today.
Taddei- 6.5: He started the match well with his dribbling and runs forward and also was willing to get involved defensively. His influence lessened as Roma attacked more on the counter in the second period.
Totti- 6.5: A few flicks and tricks, he was largely disappointing until the 84th minute when he rasped a free-kick past Dida to give his side a 3-2 victory.
Vucinic- 7.0: The 'Maradona of the Balkans', as coach Spalletti once described him, was a constant threat coming forward, earning a number of free-kicks and combining well with his team-mates.
