Can you be satisfied after conceding a last-minute equalizer? The answer isn’t straightforward, as it depends on the circumstances. In this case, I’d say we can look at the glass as half full.
Although Milan came close to a great result, based on what was seen over 90 minutes, the draw is the fairest outcome. The Rossoneri’s backline, despite some difficult moments, always managed to withstand Juventus’ attacks. The chances conceded were also relatively few.
What can be criticized about Milan?
The only criticisms that can be leveled at Milan were their lack of attacking intent and few shots on Vicario’s goal. Overall, what they achieved was 1 point away at a direct rival in the race for Champions League qualification, despite the style of play on show. Compared to previous matches, elements such as high pressing and vertical passes were missing, a sign of a general struggle in the attacking department.
This can be seen as a physiological dip that was bound to come at some point during the season. Even more so, the important thing was maintaining the unbeaten start to the season and confirming the excellent form of certain players — above all, the protagonists of the goal, Chukwueze and Cissè.
Eyes on the upcoming fixtures
For now, we just need to have faith and continue to support this team, especially with numerous fixtures ahead in Serie A and the Europa League, which will reveal the true quality of this squad.
