Virtuoso display from Bernardeschi. Absolutely decisive. He was the motor to Ronaldo’s engine last night and made me eat my pre-game words when I felt Dybala should’ve maybe started over him.
Bsrnardeschi just needs some more experience and needs to learn how to calm down when it is needed. Last night he played with great maturity. His main problem is that he cant stay fit for longer than 5-6 games.
His engine was Matuidi-esque, the sheer will and energy to make the last dribble and go on a run like that and get the penalty was legendary. Amazing to watch. His performance last night was the definition of fino alla fine!
And pushing forward with the ball... not only from his wing, but roaming the field when he needed solutions. thats what we have been asking for the whole season.
He's so unafraid, dude has balls. What I loved about him is that in both instances that he set up Ronaldo for he decided to take the more risky approach and go for it. He could have easily gone the more safe route and passed the ball to Spinazola for the cross on the first goal or pass the goal back instead of attempting to go around the defender for the 3rd one.

He is a big muscular guy who likes to dribble and cut inside. These kind of players are always prone to injuries. Ronaldo9, Kaka, Bale, etc... the only exception is Cristiano but he is not human.
