Juventus were held to a 0-0 draw by AC Milan, marking their fifth consecutive clean sheet against the Rossoneri and fifth draw in all competitions, a streak not seen since 2006. Milan missed key chances, including Christian Pulisic’s penalty. Tudor praised his side’s effort but urged continued work, while Juventus’ xG of 0.68 highlighted struggles in the final third.
For the third consecutive Serie A match, Juventus were held to a 0-0 draw, this time against AC Milan at Allianz Stadium. Igor Tudor acknowledged the result as fair but urged his team to “keep working” to achieve success. The match saw few clear chances, with Christian Pulisic missing a penalty in the 53rd minute following a challenge from Lloyd Kelly. Rafael Leao also squandered two late opportunities for Milan, leaving both teams to share the points.
Juventus have now recorded five consecutive draws across all competitions, a run not seen since Fabio Capello’s tenure in 2006, and sit fifth in Serie A, three points behind leaders Napoli. Despite struggles in attack, Juventus made history by keeping five consecutive clean sheets against Milan, becoming only the second team after Triestina (1935–1938) to do so. The team managed just 0.68 expected goals (xG) from 12 shots, compared to Milan’s 1.74 from 13 attempts.
Tudor made a triple substitution in the 69th minute, bringing on Dusan Vlahovic, Khephren Thuram, and Lois Openda for Kenan Yildiz, Francisco Conceicao, and Jonathan David, but the changes failed to produce a breakthrough. Tudor defended his decision, citing fatigue among the players and emphasizing the need to continue working to convert chances into victories. The draw also highlights a low-scoring trend between the two clubs, with just six goals in their last eight Serie A encounters.
