Player Ratings: Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus – Bianconeri improve but Di Gregorio still the best | OneFootball

Juventus suffered a 1-0 loss against Real Madrid in the Club World Cup Round of 16, with their goalkeeper, Michele Di Gregorio, being named Football Italia’s Man of the Match.

Juventus player ratings

Di Gregorio 8 – Kept Juventus in the game with some crucial interventions, ten in total. The best one was probably a full-stretch save to deny Federico Valverde in the first half, but he was even busier after the break. One of the best Juventus players in the Club World Cup.

Kalulu 5 – Didn’t win many duels, and Real Madrid were often dangerous, producing 21 total shots. Too much to handle for the Frenchman.

Rugani 5.5 – Real Madrid strikers gave him a headache, especially in the second half. He hadn’t played for Juventus for over a year; it was hard to expect more than this (86′ Gatti N/A).

Kelly 5 – A poor clearance paved the way for Real Madrid’s opener, but it wasn’t just his fault. Still lacking confidence, left the pitch injured (59′ Nico Gonzalez 5.5).

Alberto 5 – The Portuguese naturally struggled in one-v-one situations against Vini Jr, especially when he dropped in a three-man defence. Didn’t push much down the right flank.

Locatelli 6 – Don’t expect many key passes from him, but neither will there be many mistakes. Juventus may need more quality in central midfield, but surely he wasn’t the weakest starter. (86′ McKennie N/A)

Thuram 6.5 – By far the best Juventus central midfielder. Great physicality and reading of the game, and only missed three passes from 54 (via Sofascore).

Cambiaso 6 – Started the game on the left flank and finished on the right. You can tell he’s one of the most technically gifted players on the team, but he must turn it into quality passes and create more chances.

Conceiçao 5.5 – One shot on target, but it was not the house’s speciality as his header was blocked by Courtois (59′ Kostic 5.5).

Yildiz 6.5 – Everything Juventus created came from him, including the best chance of the match for Kolo Muani. He didn’t seem too happy when he was subbed off (70′ Koopmeiners 5.5).

Kolo Muani 5 – Involved in the build-play with quality, but he missed a massive chance in the first half. He had to score in front of Courtois, with or without a chip shot.

Coach Tudor 5.5 – At least there was a reaction after the heavy defeat against Manchester City. The opening 30 minutes were really positive, but then Madrid’s quality emerged and the Merengues would have deserved to score more than once. Tudor’s Juventus conceded another headed goal. It had happened ten times in Serie A in 2024-25. One of the things to fix next season.

Real Madrid: Courtois 6; Alexander-Arnold 6, Rüdiger 6.5, Huijsen 6.5, Fran García 6.5; Valverde 7.5 (90′ Ceballos N/A), Tchouameni 7, Bellingham 6.5; Arda Güler 7 (78′ Modric N/A), Gonzalo 7 (68′ Mbappé 6.5), Vinicius 7. Coach: Tudor.
