What a game!
My 3 Stars for the Game:
1. Chiellini: Looked like a taller Cannavaro out there. Totally mindfucked Ibrahimovic and made him his bitch. Just outstanding.
2. Camoranesi: The missing piece. So much skill, creativity and grit. Added a whole new dimension to the game.
3. Buffon: If not for him, this game was beyond redemption, some superb skill.
Honorable Mention: Palladino: Outstanding job on the sides, using his skill well and setting up the goal with Iaquinta.
