I'm biased because I already like Abate, but I think he was really good.
For what it's worth, datasport gave him a 7, using the term 'uncontainable' and noting that he made killer passes in the offensive phase.

Ohh how things woulda have been different... QUOTE I Could Have Joined Milan - Buffon Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon revealed he came close to joining Milan In the summer of 2006.
Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon is still out injured, so he will not be able to take part in this weekend's big match against Milan. Today he revealed that he could easily have been on the other side, as he came very close to signing for the Rossoneri in the summer of 2006, when the Calciopoli scandal had just broken out.
"It's not like I decided not to go to Milan," he said. "They asked me if I wanted to stay at Juventus and there was a negotiation for me between the two clubs, but apparently after a while there was some sort of problem between them.
"At that point I said, 'I don't see why I should leave, I'm doing fine here, even if we go to Serie B.' This was a relief for Juve, because they had assumed I wanted to leave.
"When I saw there was some disagreement between them, I said that I didn't want to leave at all costs, and that if they wanted me to stay I would have stayed. And that's what happened."
Buffon joined Juve from hometown club Parma in the summer of 2001 for a world-record fee for a goalkeeper. It's very likely he will end his career playing for the Bianconeri.

QUOTE Juninho judges Alex and Dinho Saturday 13 December, 2008
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The world’s top free kick specialist, Juninho Pernambucano, gives his verdict on Alex Del Piero, Ronaldinho and the Italian who inspired him.
This Sunday’s San Siro battle will see set piece stars from Juventus and Milan face off, so Olympique Lyonnais hero Juninho will naturally be watching.
“They are both so good and very different!” he told the Corriere dello Sport newspaper.
“Del Piero tends to use his strength more often and that is why he manages to make the ball move almost in a straight line.
“Ronaldinho, however, has a more subtle touch and tries to bend it as much as possible.”
Juninho is widely considered to be the world’s best free kick taker, but he took inspiration from watching Serie A as a youngster.
“At the base of it all you need a natural ability, then your work in training helps to complete your technique.
“The man who inspired me was Roberto Baggio! He was phenomenal, just incredible!” Juninho speaks about Del Piero. Ronaldinho (and Roberto Baggio) - Channel4Italia.com

It's halftime on the peninsula. The only other score not mentioned above is Palermo 1 - 0 Siena (Cassani in the 30th).
