It was the long-awaited match in Italy. This Sunday evening, as part of the 9th day of Serie A, AC Milan lost at home to Juventus with a score of 1 goal to 0. Manuel Locatelli offers victory to the Turinese against a reduced Milanese at 10 at the end of the first period.

This defeat does not do the Rossoneri any business. Olivier Giroud’s partners could have taken the lead in the standings ahead of Inter Milan but above all are not reassured before their shock against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League this Wednesday at the Parc des Princes.
Overall, Stefano Pioli’s players were dominated by the Bianconeri who were able to take advantage of the opposing numerical inferiority.
The signals shown by the Milanese team were not really reassuring. The attack made up of Olivier Giroud, Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic very rarely disrupted the Juventus block.
Against the Parisians, the Milanese will have to be sharper and more efficient offensively and above all not make mistakes against the Parisian offensive armada guided by Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé.
This meeting on the 3rd day of the Champions League was already crucial for both teams. In the event of defeat, Rafael Leao’s teammates would already have their backs against the wall in this group phase.
