Juventus 0-1 Milan | Match Report & Player Ratings
Juventus took on Milan in the penultimate round of the Serie A season at home, but failed to show the desire to win. Olivier Giroud put the visitors ahead before the break with a great header and the Bianconeri failed to come back from that hit. Max Statman gives a quick match report and player ratings.
Juventus were the first team to create some danger, with Juan Cuadrado testing Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan with a shot after fourtheen minutes. The Frenchman couldn’t hold on to the Panita’s shot and pushed it away instead. Ten minutes later, the Bianconeri became really dangerous again, with Moise Kean crossing the ball into the box. It fell to Ángel Di María, who played his last match at the Allianz Stadium, but the Argentinian’s poor effort went over the bar.
As the rules of football apply, Milan took the lead just before half-time. Davide Calabria delivered an excellent cross on the head of Olivier Giroud, who managed to put it in the net. An amazing header.

In the second half, the desire to win remained unseen at Juventus. Instead, it was more likely that Milan would double their lead. It almost seemed like the season of Juventus ended when the ten points were deducted.
After 70 minutes, Milan countered quickly to trouble the Bianconeri. Giroud found Alexis Saelemaekers, who got denied a goal by Wojceich Szczęsny. Later, Rafael Leão freed himself of Federico Gatti and fired on goal, but his effort glazed over the bar.
Danilo came closest to a Bianconeri goal in extra time, but his effort got blocked on the goalline by Milan. Juventus had their opportunities, but didn’t take them in their last game at the Allianz Stadium this season.
