Emotion makes it very difficult to tell. Witness the 6 and the 4 for Marquinhos. The reality is probably somewhere in between. Donnarumma is the man of the match, as are Ruiz, Hakimi… Pacho was very good, Neves showed that at 20, with room for improvement, he’s constantly fighting. Offensively, Kvaratkhelia wasn’t phenomenal, but in terms of physical impact, he was just monstrous.
