At the Allianz Stadium in Turin, Juventus and Atalanta shared the spoils in arguably the most anticipated clash of Serie A Round 28. La Dea took the lead through a clever freekick directed goalwards by Teun Koopmeiners. The Old Lady turned the result upside-down in the second period with goals from Andrea Cambiaso and Arkadiusz Milik. Nevertheless, Koopmeiners completed a personal brace to secure a point for the visitors. So here are our player ratings for Juventus who extended their dodgy run by settling for a 2-2 draw at home against Atalanta.
Juventus (3-5-2)
Wojciech Szczesny – 6
The Pole had little hope of saving either goal but did well to parry away a shot from Gianluca Scamacca while at full stretch.
Federico Gatti – 6
The Italian defender managed to limit Charles De Ketelaere’s threat. He eventually morphed into an additional striker but didn’t have the skills to properly pull off the role.
Gleison Bremer – 5.5
For once, the former Torino man struggled in the physical duel after finding a formidable match in Scamacca. Gave away a freekick with a challenge on the Atalanta striker which culminated in the opener.
Danilo – 6
The Juventus captain made some timely interventions at the back but wasn’t always productive on the ball.
Andrea Cambiaso – 7
The Genoa youth product is becoming a protagonist for the Bianconeri. Combined well with his teammates and finished off a slick team play with a toe-poked finish.
Weston McKennie – 7
The American made a timely return from injury to lift the Juventus midfield from its shambles. Ran all over the pitch and inspired the short-lived comeback with two assists. He picked up Cambiaso’s run with a clever through ball on the first occasion and chested the ball down to Milik on the second.
Manuel Locatelli – 5.5
The former Sassuolo man tried to pull the strings in the middle of the park, but his delivery was hit and miss.
Fabio Miretti – 5
The young Italian has yet to display the level that warrants a starting spot at Juventus. He remains wasteful with his passing and was easily muscled off the ball by Atalanta players.
Samuel Iling-Junior – 6
It wasn’t the Englishman’s most impressive display, but he stimulated the second Juventus goal with a sublime cross with his weaker right foot.
Arkadiusz Milik – 7
A professional display from the Polish striker who filled in well for the suspended Dusan Vlahovic. Linked up well with his teammates and scored a half-volley that he thought might be the winner for Juventus.
Federico Chiesa – 6.5
He wasn’t quite as lively as he was against Napoli, but the Italian star remains the main source of danger for Massimiliano Allegri’s side. He couldn’t find the back of the net as his two angled shots went wide, but he instigated the equalizer almost out of nothing by winning back possession and launching a brilliant run.
Substitutes
Hans Nicolussi Caviglia – 5.5
A slight upgrade on Miretti but he hardly delivered anything noteworthy.
Moise Kean – 6
The Italian striker made his return following a lengthy absence and chased every ball, but squandered an inviting cross by wrestling with his Juventus teammate Gatti.
Alex Sandro – N/A
Timothy Weah – N/A
Kenan Yildiz – N/A
