Juventus in Serie A this season:

Udinese 2-2 Juventus
Juventus 0-1 Empoli
Napoli 2-1 Juventus
Juventus 1-1 AC Milan

They currently sit in the relegation zone with only two points through four games 😬

Cristiano Ronaldo has already scored as many PL goals on his return to Man United as Alexis Sanchez and Angel Di Maria managed during their time at the club 😳

Tuesday: Lingard plays 95th minute back-pass which leads to a winner for Young Boys.

Sunday: Lingard scores 88th minute winner against the club he was loaned to last season.

Antonio Conte to Sky: “Tonight’s match will be a good match, a good test for Milan. The Rossoneri fans must be confident because the team is doing well. They have to be optimistic.” https://t.co/VXzRHQ4u8G

🔢 Tuttosport: #Tomori: 6.5. Pioli's choice to play him at right full-back is yet to be understood. As #Kjaer gets off the pitch injured, he turns on the CB and gives the usual stability to the defensive department. Great match for him in his natural position. https://t.co/1Nm911ZumN

🎙️ Carlo #Ancelotti to #RadioRai:

"In #Madrid, Brahim Diaz didn't have space to play, he is an important player for us and we are happy that he is doing well at #Milan." https://t.co/FCHGEgk0Os

AC Milan fought hard and came from behind to earn a draw against Juventus at the Allianz Stadium last night.

Milan entered the game battling an injury crisis with no recognised striker available except the young Pietro Pellegri and little midfield depth, but they got a draw thanks to Ante Rebic’s header 14 minutes from the end after Alvaro Morata had opened the scoring.


Below are the best stats from the game, courtesy of the club’s official website…

➤ Milan have gone unbeaten in two consecutive Serie A matches against Juventus for the first time since 2012.

➤ Milan have, for the first time since February 1996 (Weah equaliser after Conte’s goal) avoided defeat away at Juventus in Serie A after trailing.

➤ No team has scored more headed goals against Juventus at the Allianz Stadium than Milan (four: Antonelli, Bonucci, Tomori and Rebić – level with Genoa).

➤ Ante Rebić is the first Milan player in the three-points-per-win era to score in three consecutive matches against Juventus.

➤ The Croatian forward’s two favourite victims in Serie A are the two Turin clubs: he has scored five against the Granata and three against the Bianconeri.

Fun fact: Tomori hasn't been dribbled past in the league this season.
more interestingly he’s yet to receive a yellow card since he joined us. despite his game being very intense & aggressive

BEAST💪

Vlahovic to DAZN: “My idol? The player I like the most is Ibrahimovic for his character and desire to never give up. He never lets anyone to command him, in addition to his outstanding plays.” https://t.co/0CFs8TC0v9

📰 #CorSpor: The rise of Sandro #Tonali 🇮🇹 allows #Milan to be more cautious in the Franck #Kessie 🇨🇮deal, not having to give in to the high demands of the player. https://t.co/kuPpWB8ok1

📰 GdS: #ACMilan taking cautious approach with Kjaer despite positive MRI result.

The worst case scenario has been avoided for Simon Kjaer but he is expected to miss a week of action, according to a report.

There was a real blow in the 35th minute of Sunday night’s game against Juve as Kjaer hobbled and pulled up, requesting to come off, and the 23-year-old was replaced by Pierre Kalulu as Milan’s defence all of a sudden had a makeshift look about it.

This morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews) reports that the magnetic resonance scan that Simon Kjaer underwent yesterday after the muscle injury suffered during Sunday’s match against Juventus fortunately ruled out injuries to the flexors and therefore a longer time out.

However, the paper does add that the Dane will almost certainly miss Milan’s next two league matches against Venezia (tomorrow) and Spezia (Saturday), therefore potentially returning for the game against Atletico Madrid at San Siro next Wednesday.

📰 #CorSpor: Olivier #Giroud’s 🇫🇷 back is improving and the player is running again. He should be called up for #MilanVenezia, but he will be starting from the bench. https://t.co/YJf5Ie0ax3


Pellegri should start against venezia na. Rebic too needs some rest

📰 #SkySport, Olivier #Giroud is not expected to play in the match between #ACMilan and #Venezia because he has not yet recovered from his post-Liverpool back problem. The French striker left #Milanello while the team was still training. https://t.co/AzZ1HraRbu
