Juventus vs Inter Milan: 5 men who were brilliant for Juventus

#3 Matthijs de Ligt

Matthijs de Ligt scored an own goal but recovered well

In his first start for his new club, the former Ajax skipper endured a nightmare, scoring an own goal in the 10th minute that put Juventus on the back foot. While Matthijs de Ligt was definitely unlucky to concede the goal, he showed tremendous strength of character to keep his composure after the initial set back.

De Ligt did not let his blunder dictate his outing - instead, he gave a glimpse of his qualities on the field. The Dutchman threw himself around, blocking and thwarting the initial onslaught from the opposition. Even though Inter Milan dominated the proceedings after the goal, de Ligt helped Juventus keep things tight at the back. His tackles in the box were spot on, while his positioning was also good.

The youngster was substituted at half-time, with Sarri preferring to preserve his new signing, but de Ligt, despite registering an own goal, gave a good account of himself.
