Chelsea loanee Renato Veiga earned a 7.5 rating for his standout performance in Juventus’ 1-0 victory over Inter Milan, with Italian media praising his composure and physical presence.
While Chelsea continue to struggle under Enzo Maresca, one of their loaned-out players is thriving. Renato Veiga, who joined Juventus on loan in January, played a key role in their 1-0 win over Inter Milan, starting at centre-back and delivering a commanding performance.
Veiga’s display earned him a 7.5 rating from Football Italia, who highlighted his physical dominance and composure on the ball. The Portuguese defender completed 88% of his passes, showing confidence in possession while helping Juventus secure a vital clean sheet.
His success in Italy contrasts sharply with Chelsea’s current defensive struggles, as Maresca’s side have conceded six goals in their last three games and suffered back-to-back defeats to Brighton. Veiga’s strong form raises questions over whether Chelsea should have kept him rather than sending him out on loan.
With Veiga proving his ability at the highest level, Chelsea may regret not keeping him as they continue to struggle defensively.
