A highlight of this match between Milan and Juventus was the return of Massimiliano Allegri to the Allianz Stadium. In recent statements, he expressed his great emotion at experiencing such a wonderful return.

It was emotional. I saw so many people who supported me during my eight years at Juve, people with whom we celebrated and also cried because there were difficult moments too. I thank them and the fans for the warm welcome.

Now, as AC Milan’s coach, he returned to the Allianz Stadium to face Juventus, in a match that ended 0-0.

Although the game lacked the expected excitement, it became clear that Juventus still need to be more decisive in the final third of the field.

They controlled well and connected throughout the pitch to build possession plays, but failed to convert them into goals. Igor Tudor also continues to have difficulties finding the right pieces for important matches.

Jonathan David has not been at his best, which could open opportunities for players like Edon Zhegrova, Dusan Vlahovic, or Lois Openda to take the striker role.

In this match, David did not show his best physical form and did not make a good impression, suggesting that another forward could have been more effective.

Tudor’s team are now fourth in Serie A after this draw, with two victories and three consecutive draws, adding up to a total of 12 points, behind Milan, Roma, and Napoli.
