My ratings:
Buffon - Easily my MOTM. Made some quality saves, notably on Nihat, and kept us in the match. 7.5
Birindelli - Not very good. Didn't help out on the attack and was picked on in the first half. 5.5
Ferrara - Too slow with his movements and too late with his tackles. Nihat and Kovacevic gave him a nightmare throughout the 90 minutes. 5
Iuliano - Made some nice challenges and interceptions and saved us when Kovacevic was about to round Gigi. Didn't concede many silly free kicks if any... our best CB on the night IMO. 6.5
Pessotto - Didn't seem match sharp, or maybe I'm just saying this because Zambrotta is so much better. Karpin played what I think was his best game all season, is it coincidental that he couldn't produce the same performance two weeks ago when Zamboy was on the pitch? 5.5
Conte - Dunno why he started. Conte was very poor and I'm sorry to say but I think that he should retire now. Couldn't offer what Camo and Appiah usually do on the right hand side... 5/5.5
Tudor - Did some good things as well as some bad things. At the dawn of the second half he tried to create things from his deep midfield role, like Pirlo does at Milan, and I liked that. Fairly solid at the back too, but he needs to think twice before making an unnecessary tackle and earning himself a yellow card. 6.5
Davids - Didn't win many balls in midfield, but sure did lose alot. He made a few useful runs down the left flank but his aggressiveness and usual dynamism was missing. Needs to focus and get back into top form if not Appiah will take his place in the starting line-up for good. 5.5
Nedved - Not his best performance, but I don't blame him. His teammates didn't really seem interested in the game and he hardly got a ball played to him in space. Had one nice effort on goal and worked hard as usual, but that was about it. 6
Miccoli - I remember Micco making a nice run and forcing Westerveld into a save in the first half. He also tried to score with an ambitious lob, but the service to him really wasn't there and the Real defenders defended him well. 6
Di Vaio - Not even a shadow of his on form self. Marco gave the ball away very cheaply and didn't make any opportunities for himself of his teammates. 5.5
Appiah was average, but better than Conte and Davids, while I thought that Zalayeta did well in holding up the ball and showed that he has strength and pace on a few occasions. Tacchinardi came in to sure up and bolster the midfield, and did what Lippi wanted him to do - keep the Sociedad attackers out.
Lippi - His starting line-up disappointed me... his substitutions were OK considering that Olympiakos were ahead of Galatasary, but I would've liked to see Camoranesi.
