Corriere dello Sport said on Ronaldo's performances:

"It's unstoppable when he is in form and a burden when like last Sunday, he switched off. He has been sub par against the big clubs recently.''

La Gazzetta dello Sport decided to focus on the coach's mistake:

"If this match had been an exam, he would have failed it. Pirlo was thrashed by Conte and he has discovered how difficult his new job is.''
