Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie took the field for AC Milan and Juventus as both sides settled for a point in a frustrating Serie A game over the weekend.
AC Milan 0-0 Juventus
Both AC Milan and Juventus will have to try again next weekend to secure their spots in the Champions League, as the two settled for a tie at the San Siro.
Christian Pulisic started and played 62 minutes for the Rossoneri in another quiet performance, completing 88 percent passing, winning a duel, and making a recovery. On the other side, Weston McKennie went the distance for the Bianconeri, completing 85 percent passing, winning five duels, making two tackles, and five recoveries.
Both sides were on the attack throughout the game, but failed to produce any goals.
Juve appeared to have opened the scoring in the 36th minute when Khephren Thuram steered in Francisco Conceicao’s cross in the back of the net, but the referee ruled it out due to offside.
The second half produced the same outcome, as neither side could find the goal. Alexis Saelemaekers came very close to scoring for the hosts, but his shot came crashing off the frame of the goal.
Milan remains in third place with 67 points, while Juventus sits in fourth with 64.
