At 3:45 a.m. Beijing time on January 24, the 23rd round of Serie A ushered in a match, AC Milan at home to juventus. AC Milan have had a bad Record in the Champions League this season and are out at the bottom. However, in the league, AC Milan achieved very good results, winning 15 games in the first 22 rounds, ranking second, and being Inter's number one title rival. However, in the last round of the league, AC Milan broke out of the cold, losing at home to Spezia, who was lower in the rankings, losing the key 3 points. Facing the powerful Juventus this time, it is a huge challenge for AC Milan. The two sides met in the 4th round, when the game was tied. Again, it was still a draw, and it was a very dull score, 0-0!
In this game AC Milan lined up in a 4231 formation. Menion served as the starting goalkeeper. Calabria, Kalulu, Romagnoli and Theo Hernandez are paired at 4-back. Tornelli and Clunic form a double back. Messias, Díaz and Leo join forces. Ibrahimovic is at the front. Juventus are in a 442 formation, with Dybala and Morata playing as double strikers.
Due to the venue, the two sides still played more cautiously to avoid injuries. However, Ibrahimovic was injured and was replaced in the 27th minute. Milan took the initiative in the first half, but the quality of shots from the likes of Leo, Calabria and Giroud was poor. The end of the half was still a 0-0 score. AC Milan had 52% possession in the first half and had 8 shots on goal, but only 1 shot was on target, failed to score, and the quality of the shot was very poor. Juventus, on the other hand, had just three shots on goal in the first half, none of which were on target. In the second half, it was a match, Morata's header was deflected off goal, Leo's long-range shot was deflected by Szczesny, Giroud's header was confiscated, and McKenny's header was deflected. Until the end of the game, no goals were scored, and the final score was fixed at 0-0! For such an ending, Chiellini said it was a fair outcome. Allegri is also satisfied with this result, and he believes that the most important thing is not to be widened by Milan because of the loss.
AC Milan scored 6 more shots on goal than Juventus in this game. Juventus only had 8 shots on goal, and it was a bit humiliating that 0 shots were on target. AC Milan goalkeeper Mignan was not tested in the slightest and was a bit bored. In his post-match whoscored rating, Bentankur scored a game-high 7.6 points, and he had five steals, four interceptions, and one clearance, making his performance on the defensive end impeccable. Morata, the lowest scorer among starters, had just 1 shot on goal, 0 shots on target, no presence, and only scored 6.3 points. Juventus threw up the key 2 points against Milan, which is not unacceptable. However, this means that Juventus's fight for four has become more difficult, and Roma, who are chasing behind, have narrowed the gap with Juventus to 4 points because of the win.
