Here's what a Spanish analyst had to say about Bentancur's performance yesterday:

As experienced of a player as Chiellini and Barzagli? Look how that turned out yesterday. Let's just agree to disagree then, but I'm sure most would agree with me that Bentancur did not have a bad performance. Sure his lack of experience could be seen at times but that does not imply that he had...

There is a reason Allegri played him yesterday. Look, I understand Marchisio is a sentimental player for Juve but at this point in time Bentancur is a better option. Despite an unjust yellow card, Allegri played him 90 minutes. He did have a bad performance against Hellas Verona if I recall...

Kroos had 20 league appearances with Bayern, including 6 starts. He also played in their B team that season. Modric was playing with Dinamo Zagreb, scoring 7 goals in 31 matches. I'm sure none of them played as big of a match as Rodri did yesterday. I agree, he needs more playing time to...

I disagree. To start such a huge match being only 20 years old and having to deal with Kroos, Casemiro, Modric and Isco all at the same time is massive. Especially considering he hasn't been playing regularly. Yet, the kid showed great composure. Sure he made some mistakes but as did the whole...

Massive game for Bentancur this. It's his time to truly make a name for himself at the biggest stage in Europe. It's also a huge indicator for Uruguay as it looks like he will be a starter at the World Cup. Vamo' arriba Rodri carajo!

For those doubting Rodri should start tomorrow, here's something for you:

Any chance Allegri starts him tomorrow against Real Madrid? Should he start?

What are the chances of seeing Rodri play in the upcoming matches for Juve?

Rodri played as a starter in both matches for Uruguay at the China Cup with a total of 160 minutes in two fantastic performances. Uruguay became champion and everything points towards him being a starter at the World Cup in the midfield together with Matías Vecino. The lad deserves more playing...
