Italian sports outlet unanimously deemed Bologna star Dan Ndoye the best player on the pitch at the Allianz Stadium during his side’s 2-2 draw against Juventus, putting on the kind of display that has attracted interest from Liverpool in recent months.
The Switzerland international opened the scoring on Saturday by netting his third Serie A goal of the season only one week after bagging a brace against Venezia last week, as he keeps proving his importance for Vincenzo Italiano’s side.

Sports newspapers in Italy had no doubt about who was the best-performing player in Juventus vs Bologna, with Ndoye getting the highest rate from all of them.
He was rated 7.5 by Gazzetta dello Sport, which suggested he proved to be ‘the winger coach Thiago Motta needed’.
His rate was even better, 8, for Corriere della Sera and Corriere dello Sport, with the latter writing that he seemed ‘disguised as Joshua Zirkzee for his ability to nicely link up Bologna’s play.
Ndoye also shone in the Rossoblu’s Champions League at Liverpool and recently admitted he believes he has ‘the quality’ to play in a ‘world’s top club’.
