AC Milan and Juventus played out a very dull 0-0 draw at the Allianz Stadium on Saturday evening, in what was far from a great advert for Serie A.
Juve perhaps had the better of the chances as Milan had the late stand-in goalkeeper Marco Sportiello to thanks for a couple of good stops and also Malick Thiaw from clearing a shot off the line late on.
Keeping a clean sheet with a patched together defence will certainly please Stefano Pioli, but it was far from a positive spectacle in general with both sides really lacking in quality.
It is certainly a better draw for the Rossoneri than for their hosts given that the points gap remains, and now it will be some task for Juve to snatch second in the table.
There were multiple changes from the defeat to Inter on Monday night as Olivier Giroud came back in to lead the line, Malick Thiaw and Alessandro Florenzi came into the back four and Marco Sportiello started in goal because Mike Maignan suffered an injury in the warm-ups.
