Good performance given the conditions, we were definitely the better side imo. Basically everyone did well except perhaps Olivera who I thought failed to produce, but it must be noted that the conditions didn't suit his style of play.
Buffon was sharp and the back four solid. Camo impressed, while Emerson and Appiah did their jobs in midfield. Nice pass to Zlatan by the former which led to the goal. Oli did alot of fouling and didn't make much of an impact.
Ibrahimovic held the aerial balls up well using his height and strength to his advantage and was excellent in setting up Del Piero's goal, but why does he insist on taking on his marker or markers as the case often is every other time he gets the ball when he can make a simple pass and retain possession? Missed two complete sitters.
Though the wet surface prohibited him from doing some of the things he does best, DP looked good. He showed calmness and class in front of goal with his finish and played some really intelligent passes. I recall about three excellent chipped ones to Zlatan, and Ibrahimovic's fourth assist of the season for Ale confirmed that this partnership has potential to be great. Well done, skipper.
