Juventus and Milan, both looking for runners-up after the ‘Scudetto’ secured by Inter five days ago, They couldn’t come back from 0 to 0 this Saturday (27), in the most prominent match of the 34th round of Serie A.
Juve created the clearest opportunities, especially a direct free kick from Dusan Vlahovic (45’+2) and a double chance from Filip Kostic and Danilo at the start of the second half (50′).
But the ‘Vecchia Signora’ bumped into Milan goalkeeper Marco Sportiello, starting in place of Mike Maignan, who felt pain in his thigh during the warm-up.
His French teammate, Olivier Giroud, also had to leave the field in the 71st minute after suffering a blow to his knee.
Milan, who were coming off a 2-1 defeat suffered on Monday in the ‘Derby della Madonnina’, being direct witnesses of the twentieth ‘Scudetto’ in the history of Inter Milan, did not create any real danger for Juve.
The draw, however, represents a better result for the interests of the Rossoneri team, which, in 2nd place with a 16 point advantage over sixth place, almost guaranteed a place in the next Champions League.
“My team reacted well, with spirit and great enthusiasm, although there are things we could do better. We maintained our advantage over a good Juve team. It’s a positive result for us”, analyzed Milan coach Stefano Pioli.
“This group has the potential to perform well,” added the Italian coach, who will initially leave the club at the end of the season following disappointments in the Champions League and then the Europa League.
