Several players at 5 or worse: Player ratings for Parma-Milan from Italian papers

Since AC Milan failed to clinch all three points against Parma last night, squandering a two-goal lead as well, the newspapers didn’t exactly shower the players with praise this morning. 

Milan had the chance to put some pressure on their rivals at the top, having beaten Roma last time out. However, despite things looking good at the start, they only got a point against Parma in the end after a second-half collapse.

We were rightfully harsh in our player ratings, especially towards certain players, and the same can be said for the newspapers this morning. Rafael Leao was named the best player, given a 7/10 by Gazzetta dello Sport and a 6/10 by Corriere dello Sport.

The worst player, meanwhile, was undoubtedly Pervis Estupinan with a 4/10 from Gazzetta dello Sport and a 5.5/10 from Corriere dello Sport. Interestingly, Antonio Vitiello (the Corriere dello Sport writer) rated Christopher Nkunku lower than the left back, giving him a 5/10.
