This is the second goalless draw in a row for AC Milan this season. Against Torino away from home, Stefano Pioli's team struggled to find the winner once again, just like against Bologna.
Now, the Scudetto race is so much more difficult. Milan are first with 68 points after 32 games while Inter have 66 points with just 31 games. Their delayed clash with Bologna will be played later this month.
After assigning the players with their votes, the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport pointed out that the Rossoneri did not draw two consecutive 0-0 matches in Serie A since December 2018 (also against Bologna and Torino back then). In addition, they did not remain dry for two matches in a row in the league since February 2021. "AC Milan's difficulty in scoring are evident, yet the team creates several chances".
Now, the Rossoneri's experienced attacker Olivier Giroud has not scored in several games now while Portuguese left-winger Rafael Leao is not as decisive as before. The other attacking midfielders, Brahim Diaz, Junior Messias, and Alexis Saelemaekers are also struggling to find goals.
Then, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has not scored in a while before being left out for yesterday's match due to injury. Same is said about Ante Rebic.
AC Milan's attackers are suffering a big draught and Stefano Pioli must find other creative solutions to refresh his attacking plays.
