Juventus Turin and AC Milan were unable to decide between themselves this Saturday.

This Saturday evening, early in the evening, Juventus Turin hosted AC Milan, at the Allianz Stadium, on the occasion of the 34th day of Serie A. Affected in the adductors during the warm-up, Maignan withdrew just before the kick-off of the meeting. For this poster between the second and third in the Italian championship, it was Sportiello who took the place of the Frenchman in the Rossoneri goal.

Valhovic also tested the Italian goalkeeper from the 8th minute of play, who was vigilant in stopping the Serbian striker’s left shot. At the end of a very tactical first period but poor in scoring opportunities, the two teams returned to the locker room with a goalless draw.

At the start of the second half, Sportiello made a double save (50th). At the hour mark, AC Milan still had not had a single shot on target. However, Loftus-Cheek was not far from opening the scoring for the Lombard club. The English international’s powerful shot hit Szczęsny’s post (66th). Rabiot could have been the savior of the Black and Whites but his shot was blocked by Thiaw on his line (86th).

Following this draw (0-0), AC Milan and Juventus Turin consolidate their respective second and third places in Serie A. However, the Old Lady is in the sights of Bologna, who would pass them in the standings in beating Udinese this Sunday at 3 p.m.
