AC Milan vs Juventus Review
The 242nd edition of the most frequently played match in Italian football ended in a goalless draw, with AC Milan and Juventus unable to score in a lackluster 0-0 match at San Siro.
The visitors’ defense appeared strong, but Rafael Leão was the player most likely to pose a threat. The influential winger, who recently scored his 50th Serie A goal, delivered a clever cross to Álvaro Morata at the far post, but the Spaniard could only head it wide. That was the extent of the action in a cautious first half, but the game opened up after halftime, with Malick Thiaw making a crucial block to prevent Andrea Cambiaso from scoring from close range.
Juventus maintained control of the ball, and their impressive record of nine clean sheets in 12 previous league matches explained why the home team found it difficult to penetrate their defense. Nevertheless, they applied some late pressure, with Youssouf Fofana shooting over the bar, but ultimately, neither team managed to create any clear scoring opportunities throughout the match.
Milan’s inability to secure a victory has pushed them further away from the European qualification positions, as their performance seems to have declined since their impressive 3-1 away victory against Real Madrid before the international break. On the other hand, Juventus continues to show solid defensive strength and is expected to be in the title race once their attacking injury issues are resolved.
