AC Milan drew 0-0 at home against Juventus. It was a very boring and disappointing match. No offensive ideas and there was "too much respect" from both sides, as coach Paulo Fonseca admitted yesterday after the final whistle.
La Gazzetta dello Sport shared their usual ratings in this morning's print edition.
Youssouf Fofana was the best for the Milan team
The French midfielder who is 25 years old played a decent match defensively as he recovered several balls. That earned him a rating of 6.5.
Mike Maignan had a quite night mostly and kept a clean sheet. He earned a 6, same as his teammates Matteo Gabbia and Malick Thiaw who did okay in defence, overall. Christian Pulisic also received a rating set at 6. He came on later during the match and could not ignite that missing spark in attack. He tried a few ideas, but nothing worked against a well-organised defensive wall of Juventus.
The AC Milan dutch midfielder, Tijjani Reijnders, on the other hand, along with striker Alvaro Morata and left-winger Rafael Leao showed lacklustre performances with ratings set at 5.5.
As for the French left-back, Theo Hernandez, he continues to deliver insufficient performances. He earned a rating set at 5 only, same as English midfielder, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and his American teammate, Yunus Musahn who started from first minute.
AC Milan's Brazilian right-back with a frustrating performance against Juventus
Emerson Royal was "bullied" by Cambiaso and Yildiz and poorly protected by Yunus Musah. He Picked up a yellow card to limit the damage. He tried to redeem himself with an offensive header, but it’s not enough. He had a rating of 4.5.
