The Serie A top fixture last night, Milan - Juventus, was a letdown for Italian football enthusiasts who were expecting a more offensive type of football.
The Rossoneri, who played at home, had more to lose. They had to take more risks than Thiago Motta's injury-plagued squad. There were barely any chances worth mentioning throughout the 90 minutes, however.
AC Milan players endured whistles from the fans after the end of the match.
The only standout moments were after the final whistle: the players were met with deafening boos at the San Siro stadium, which had anticipated a reaction of pride from Paulo Fonseca's team to try to make up ground in a league.
Now, any hopes for a Scudetto race seem shattered. With performances like the one seen last night, it is difficult to expect much from the Rossoneri team, unfortunately.
How many shots were made in Milan - Juventus match?
Three shots on target—if we can even call them that—over the course of 90 minutes perfectly encapsulate a match that fell flat.
This morning, Il Corriere dello Sport commented on it with a front-page headline referencing the Oscar-winning director Paolo Sorrentino’s film: "The Great Ugliness."
