Milan, Juve Share Points In San Siro Stalemate

November 23, (THEWILL) – In a goalless encounter at San Siro, AC Milan and Juventus played out their 242nd competitive fixture, maintaining Juventus’ impressive defensive record in Serie A this season. The match represented a significant opportunity for Milan to challenge the top positions in the table, yet their inability to break through left them further adrift the top spots.

The absence of several attacking players forced Juventus manager, Thiago Motta, to implement an unconventional forward strategy, which resulted in early opportunities for Teun Koopmeiners and Kenan Yildiz. Rafael Leao, fresh from scoring his 50th Serie A goal in the previous match, created Milan’s most promising chance with a cross to Alvaro Morata, though the Spanish forward directed his header wide of the target.

The second half brought increased attacking intent from both sides, with Malick Thiaw making a crucial intervention to prevent Andrea Cambiaso from scoring at close range. Juventus dominated possession throughout the match, demonstrating why they have maintained nine clean sheets in their previous 12 league matches.

Despite mounting pressure in the closing stages, including a missed opportunity from Youssouf Fofana, neither team managed to create clear scoring opportunities. The result marks a concerning trend for Milan, whose form has declined since their 3-1 victory against Real Madrid before the international break.

Juventus continue to exhibit defensive excellence, positioning themselves for a strong title challenge once their attacking personnel return from injury.
