This evening, AC Milan played out a pretty boring draw with Juventus. However, it never seemed like it was going to be a spectacle.
Before the game, most suggested that Milan were going to play a pretty classic Allegrian game and they were right. Ultimately, there was little threat in the game, barring a few rare moments from both teams.
However, with neither team desperate for three points, a point meant more than the risk of losing it. In other words, it certainly was not the advert for Serie A that some will have hoped for. Was it going to be any different, though? Probably not.

On the crossbar…
“It was a great chance for me, unfortunately the ball bounced badly and I didn’t catch it well, too bad…”
Closer to the target?
“We work every week, with the right mindset to do well and reach our goal.”
