Julio Cesar: N/A

He was one of the 23, 980 spectators at the Olimpico. Other than some scuffles, the one time that he was committed was at the 90th minute by a telephone call from Taddei.

Maicon: 6

Picked up a yellow after just 16 minutes so he can say goodbye to the game at the San Siro. Obviously he had to slow down a bit but defended effectively.

Lucio: 7

Returned sumptuously when he went head high pushing for movement. Anticipated on Perrotta on the 26th minutes: that could have been a goal.

Ranocchia: 5.5

He will also miss the semifinal return leg becuase of a useless pull of the shirt of a midfielder: does he want to give a gift to Samuel?

Nagatomo: 6

Got good results facing the imprecise but dynamic Taddei. But in the attack, he served poorly or just ignored it.

Zanetti: 6

A good game in terms of containment, without any dangerous initiatives but he ensured a balance that needed at Inter.

Cambiasso: 7

Started with an illuminating pass for the goal. Then he stood tall to contain.

Pandev: 6

More useful as a midfielder (a surprise) than as a striker, his physical force is the detriment of accuracy and incisiveness.

Sneijder: 6.5

In recovery mode in terms of movements as well as ideas (his final assist to Pazzini). But he must find his shooting touch.

Milito: 5

Tried to create spaces, but he is still unconvinced and stiff. When you saw him he was always marked closely. Courage...

Pazzini: 5.5

Sneijder sent him in front of Doni when he just got in the game but he didn't use his quickness to get around the keeper. That could close the game.

Obi: N/A

Less than a quarter of an hour for the exhausted Pandev to control a Roma which were only dangerous because of the lightness of Ranocchia.

Stankovic: 7.5

He can become such a unique player in one of those nights like yesterday when he combined excessive power, force and class.

Mariga: N/A

Leonardo: 6.5

Finally turned to his stars after many nights of nightmares. Good job to balance the team by sacrificing Pandev.

Overall: 7

Authoritative performance from a team that wanted to close that its best.
