The Juventus Men's First Team played out a 0-0 draw away against AC Milan on Serie A Matchday 34, a result that keeps the fight for Champions League qualification alive.

THE MATCH REPORT 

Juventus approached the match at San Siro with confidence and a desire to dictate play, looking to build moves in the attacking third but failing to find the decisive pass, with the Rossoneri defence managing to contain them without conceding any real scoring opportunities. The first half-hour passed without any real highlights but was full of midfield battles.

In the final ten minutes, however, the match came to life. In the 34th minute, Michele Di Gregorio proved decisive with a superb save from a close-range attempt by Adrien Rabiot, and then three minutes later came the moment that had the Bianconeri celebrating – if only for a moment. A cross-shot from the right by Chico Conceicao was met by Khephren Thuram in the box, but the goal was ruled out for offside against the Frenchman. 

In the final five minutes, the Portuguese winger was once again in the thick of the action. A perfect switch of play from Manuel Locatelli was met by a first-time touch on the wing by Conceicao, who beat his opponent, got into the box and shot on goal, but the Rossoneri goalkeeper closed down the angle.

Juve's number 7 tried again in stoppage time, but Maignan saved the left-footed effort. The half ended 0-0.

In the second half, it was the Rossoneri who created the first real chance. In the 50th minute, Alexis Saelemaekers struck the crossbar, sending a shiver down the spines of the Bianconeri defence. Juventus’s response was not long in coming. 

In the 59th minute, Andrea Cambiaso made a good run down the left, collected a through ball from Lloyd Kelly and shot towards goal, with the ball flying just over the crossbar. As the minutes ticked by, the pace remained high and the match stayed intense, with substitutions attempting to inject fresh energy and dynamism into the game. 

In the 85th minute, Jonathan David flicked on a cross from Pierre Kalulu in the penalty area, but the ball drifted wide of the far post and went out of play. It was the last dangerous move of the match: the game at San Siro ended 0-0.
