Marchisio performance stands out vs Spain in Castrol rankings...
Claudio Marchisio once again confirmed his international credentials by putting in an impeccable display as Italy launched their Euro 2012 campaign with a 1-1 draw against defending champions Spain.
Supporting the midfielder’s top performance against the Barcelona trio of Fabregas, Iniesta and Xavi are UEFA’s Castrol Edge Index statistics, which place him top with a score of 9.15.
The 26-year-old, a dominant presence throughout, struck two shots on goal - one of which tested Iker Casillas shortly before the break - proved effective in possession, and made a vital contribution in tracking back to perform his defensive duties.
The game also illustrated Marchisio’s phenomenal work rate – only fellow Juventus midfielder Emanuele Giaccherini covered more than his 12,179m.

He really did have a great game. It's a shame that he couldn't put away that potential goal towards the end of the game, but I think he had just run the whole length of the pitch.

Too much defensive duties for him to completely shine.. Defensive work is work too and he proved his overall qualities on the pitch. World class player IMO
