Every Italian sports paper picked out the former Arsenal goalkeeper as the MOTM in Juventus-Napoli.
“Chiellini lifted the cup, but he marked the victory with two great saves: a killer wearing blue gloves,” wrote La Gazzetta dello Sport.
On the other hand, at least three Napoli players put in disappointing performances.
The Azzurri captain Lorenzo Insigne fluffed a penalty after 80 minutes, but the likes of Tiemoue Bakayoko and Piotr Zielinski also failed to live up to expectations and are those with lower ratings.
The Chelsea loanee “struggled to cope with the pressing from Juventus players,” while Zielinski “Disappeared in the second half,” according to the pink paper.
Check out the Football Italia ratings from the Mapei Stadium.
