Lazio veteran Pedro was unanimously picked as the Man of the Match following his sensational display against Ajax on Thursday night.
The Biancocelesti prevailed over the Lancers on their own turf in Amsterdam by three goals to one, thus maintaining their spot on top of the table. The Italian capital side has been firing on all cylinders since Marco Baroni’s arrival. At this point, it’s hard to bet against the Italian tactician who might as well hit the jackpot should he visit a casino.

Despite traveling to the Netherlands without their fans who were banned by a controversial embargo imposed by the local authorities in Amsterdam, Lazio still produced a stellar display at the Johan Cruyff Arena, while Pedro emerged as the ultimate star of the show.
The 37-year-old provided a fabulous assist on Loum Tchaouna’s opener, picking up the young Frenchman’s run with a clever through ball. The Spanish veteran was the one who eventually sealed the victory with a brilliant curler. Therefore, he was named the Man of the Match by the most renowned Italian newspapers. The former Barcelona man received grades between 7.5 and 8.
Tchaouna wasn’t too far behind. The youngster opened the scoring and then repaid the favor to Pedro by setting up the third goal with an outrageous backheel. Fisayo Dele-Bashiru bagged the second goal as his shot went just over the line, so he also earned reputable grades (between 7 and 7.5).
So here are all the ratings from the mainstream Italian news sources as published by La Lazio Siamo Noi.
