Bayern Munich asked about a move for Dusan Vlahovic Dusan Vlahovic has become the subject of renewed transfer interest from Bayern Munich, with reports suggesting that Juventus may be open to selling the Serbian striker during the January window. Despite his recent contributions to the team, financial considerations and his contract situation could influence the Bianconeri’s decision. ............ Bayern Munich has made initial enquiries regarding a possible January transfer for Vlahovic. The German champions reportedly wish to confirm the player’s availability before advancing negotiations. Bayern’s search for a high-quality centre-forward continues, and Vlahovic’s blend of strength, finishing ability, and tactical intelligence makes him a fitting target. From Juventus’ perspective, financial factors could play a decisive role. ............ However, selling Vlahovic would carry sporting risks. The striker remains a key contributor, and losing him could weaken the team’s attacking options, potentially affecting their form for the remainder of the campaign. ............ .

Causio suggests even Guardiola would struggle with this team Franco Causio has expressed his disappointment with Juventus’ performances this season, as the Bianconeri continue to struggle for consistency. Traditionally regarded as one of the strongest clubs in Serie A, Juventus carry high expectations every campaign. This term began with the team considered one of the favourites to claim the title, but early signs suggest that translating potential into victories has been more challenging than anticipated. ............ Despite maintaining an unbeaten start to the season, Juventus have not won enough matches to establish themselves at the summit of the league table. The current squad is widely regarded as one of the strongest in Serie A, yet Causio argues that the team lacks the decisive quality required to secure silverware. Fans remain hopeful, but the Bianconeri must overcome inconsistency and convert opportunities into results if they are to compete seriously for trophies this season. Causio also raised questions about the limits faced by manager Igor Tudor. He suggested that even highly esteemed coaches would struggle without exceptional players: “Is he (Igor Tudor) up to the task? If he has good players, he can become good. Even Guardiola would have struggled without talent. The coach has tactical orders to execute, but everything can’t depend on his decisions.” ............ Causio’s observations highlight the dual challenges of tactical execution and player quality. While Tudor has the strategic framework to guide the team, the absence of game-changing talent at critical moments has hindered Juventus’ ability to convert potential into consistent results. The manager must rely on his squad to rise to the occasion, while the players themselves must deliver individual brilliance alongside collective discipline. ............ .

Journalist reveals one key attribute the current Juventus team has Juventus are experiencing difficulties across several competitions, and the men in black and white recognise that their team has room for improvement. Despite avoiding defeats in recent matches, Juve appear to have lost their winning touch, a situation that has raised concern among both supporters and analysts. ............ Despite the lack of victories, there are signs of progress within the squad that suggest potential for improvement. Journalist Guido Vaciago has highlighted one key area where Juventus have evolved. Calling for more time for the manager and a few changes to the squad, Vaciago remarked, “One thing that should be saved, for example, is the team’s more mature attitude compared to last year. This factor may be subtle, but it impacts the results: Juventus always stays in the game, even when a lack of balance causes them to struggle (see the matches against Inter and Borussia), and they have the ability to react, to fight until the last minute.” ............ Vaciago’s comments reflect a growing belief that stability and patience could be crucial for Juventus as they navigate this challenging phase. While the lack of wins is troubling, the team’s resilience and willingness to fight until the end of matches are positive indicators of their mental strength. ............ .

Igor Tudor has no plans to bench misfiring Juventus star Since joining Juventus in the summer, Jonathan David has faced challenges in adapting to life at the club, prompting calls from some quarters for him to be dropped from the starting XI. The Canadian striker enjoyed considerable success at Lille, where he completed his contract before moving to Juventus as a free agent. ............ Manager Igor Tudor has no plans to remove David from the team. Tudor remains convinced that the striker will reach his best form and is prepared to persist with him in the starting lineup. The manager believes that, with time and consistent opportunities, David possesses all the qualities necessary to thrive in black and white. ............ Tudor’s commitment to David reflects a broader strategy of patience and development. By maintaining faith in the Canadian forward, he aims to allow him to settle fully into Serie A and build the confidence needed to succeed at the highest level. Juventus are prepared to support David’s progression, hoping that his talent will soon translate into goals and decisive performances for the team. ............ .

Marseille is watching player who joined Juventus in the summer Jonathan David only joined Juventus during the most recent transfer window, yet the Canadian forward is already being linked with a possible return to Ligue 1. After several successful seasons at Lille, David made the move to Juventus as a free agent, but reports now suggest that his time in Turin may not be unfolding as planned. ............ Olympique Marseille have maintained a strong interest in David and continues to follow his progress closely. The French club have monitored him over the past few seasons and regards him as a player capable of strengthening their attacking options. ............ Juventus, on the other hand, are said to be confident that David will improve as he adjusts to Serie A football. The club are expected to reject any approach in the January transfer window, preferring instead to allow him the time to adapt fully to his new surroundings and develop a greater understanding with his teammates. Meanwhile, Marseille are likely to continue observing his situation throughout the season, waiting for any indication that a move could become possible in the future. ............ David has appeared somewhat unsettled at the Allianz Stadium in recent weeks, but such a period of adjustment is common for players transitioning to new environments and tactical systems. His proven record at Lille demonstrates that he possesses the technical skill, discipline, and composure required to succeed at the highest level. ............ .

Juventus counting on double injury boost after the international break Juventus are reportedly optimistic about recovering two players once they resume their campaign after the October international break. The Bianconeri had started their campaign on a bright note, winning their first three Serie A fixtures. ............ Therefore, the international break could give Igor Tudor the opportunity to reflect on his choices, and also allow some of his players to fully heal. ............ Gleison Bremer should be available for his club’s upcoming encounter against Como. The Bianconeri will resume their campaign with an away fixture against Cesc Fabregas’ men on October 19. The Brazilian defender felt some discomfort in his operated left knee during Juve’s contest against Atalanta. Therefore, he was taken off as a precaution by the medical staff. ............ In addition to Bremer, Juventus could also welcome Fabio Miretti back to the fold. The midfielder returned to the base this summer following a positive loan spell at Genoa. However, he has yet to make an appearance in a competitive fixture due to a muscle injury he suffered before the start of the season. ............ .

Cambiaso reveals how Tudor improved Juventus after taking over from Motta Juventus wing-back Andrea Cambiaso reveals two factors that drastically improved with the arrival of Igor Tudor. The wingback was initially a key figure in Thiago Motta’s plans last season, and even donned the captain’s armband at one point. However, the two men’s relationship deteriorated afterwards, and the Italy international was dropped from the lineup at one point. ............ The versatile player identifies two key attributes that the team currently possesses, suggesting they were sorely missing during Motta’s ill-fated reign. “We have much more enthusiasm than last season,” admitted the former Genoa man while chatting with the press following the goalless draw against Milan on Sunday. “The group has changed, but not that much. We’re more united, and there’s more desire to play together. We must carry this enthusiasm through to the end, regardless of the results.” ............ Moreover, Cambiaso wasn’t too surprised by how Sunday’s big Serie A showdown played out, while praising his former boss, Max Allegri. “I wasn’t expecting anything different. I know the coach, and I knew it would be a cagey affair as it’s been the case in recent years between Juventus and Milan. We could have created more offensively, we tried, but we didn’t manage it.” ............ .

Tudor earns Thiago Motta comparisons after Juventus - Milan 0-0 draw Juventus now have the same number of points (12) after six matches of the 2025-26 season as they did after the same number of games under Thiago Motta last term, and current head coach Igor Tudor is now beginning to repeat an unfortunate trend that also troubled his predecessor. ............ Sunday’s result means that Juventus now have three wins and three draws after six matches of the Serie A season, the same set of results as they achieved after six Serie A matches under Thiago Motta last term. ............ Juventus managed to go 21 matches unbeaten at the start of the 2024-25 season under Thiago Motta, but the former head coach often came under criticism given that 13 of those matches ended in draws. A year down the line, and Juventus have now drawn five matches in a row across Serie A and the Champions League, matching the longest streak of consecutive draws under Thiago Motta last season. .

“You lose your identity” – Del Piero thinks Tudor is mismanaging Juventus attack Following Sunday’s 0-0 draw against Milan, Juventus icon Alessandro Del Piero tells Igor Tudor to avoid his hectic rotation between the strikers at his disposal. ............ Jonathan David has been initially identified as the team’s designated new bomber following his free transfer from Lille, while Loic Openda arrived on deadline day to offer the manager more options in the attacking third. Moreover, Dusan Vlahovic was happy to reject all offers to stay in Turin for his final contractual year. Unfortunately for Juventus, the healthy depth in attack hasn’t yielded a positive return in terms of goal-scoring. David only netted on his debut against Parma, while Openda has yet to open his account for the club. For his part, Vlahovic bagged four goals, but never scored as a starter. ............ “Who is best suited to play in attack at Juventus? There isn’t a suitable player right now,” noted Del Piero following the club’s goalless draw against Milan. “Juve have strength in other areas, but certainly not up front. Those who have started have almost always performed poorly. Vlahovic has only done well as a substitute. “It’s complicated, the blanket is short. If you rotate a lot, you keep everyone on edge and give everyone confidence. But on the other hand, you lose your identity. “The team recognises itself in a starting XI, which isn’t there right now, especially up front. Elsewhere, in defence and midfield, for example, the ideas are clear. Up front, Tudor still doesn’t have clear ideas.” ............ “Where can Juve improve? If they can play at a very high intensity, they’re much more vertical. Because they have players like Yildiz and Conceicao, who can cause havoc when given space. “Juve are struggling in attack. The only one who tries to lift the pace is Locatelli, so the attackers get very few chances to score. If you receive the ball with eight or nine players up front, it’s difficult to do anything.” .

Capello criticises both sides after ‘boring’ Juventus 0-0 Milan draw Fabio Capello did not enjoy the performance he saw from either side during the 0-0 draw between his former sides Juventus and Milan in Serie A on Sunday evening, describing the first half as ‘boring’, and criticising both sides for lacking courage. ............ Juventus, who have now drawn five matches in succession across all competitions, were booed off the pitch, while Milan have been criticised for missing their chance to stay at the top of the table heading into the October international break. ............ “Juve-Milan was not a great show,” Capello said. “A very boring first half, the two teams didn’t have the courage to take any risks. We saw a little bit more in the second half. From two teams like that, we were expecting more of a spectacle. They were all rightly booed at the end.” ............ “I didn’t understand the decision to replace Conceicao,” Capello said. .

How Tudor changed Juventus system after taking off Yildiz against Milan Juventus had to settle for a 0-0 draw at home against Milan in Serie A on Sunday evening, in a game that saw head coach Igor Tudor shuffle his tactical approach with 20 minutes to go following the withdrawal of Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao. ............ There were boos at full-time at the Allianz Stadium, but Tudor insists that he didn’t hear the noise from the crowd. Several Juventus players have come under criticism for their performances in the 0-0 draw against Milan, particularly centre-forward Jonathan David, who is without a goal for Juventus since August. David was part of a triple substitution after 70 minutes on Tuesday, which also say the fatigued Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao come off. ............ They were replaced by Dusan Vlahovic, Lois Openda and Khpehren Thuram as Tudor switched from his regular 3-4-2-1 to a more ‘traditional’ 3-5-2, with two out and out centre-forwards and a three-man central midfield. ............ Vlahovic and Openda played together as strike partners, but were unable to find the magic moment against Milan. . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/how-tudor-changed-juventus-system-vs-milan/

Refereeing expert questions Milan’s penalty against Juventus: “No legs contact” Former Serie A referee Luca Marelli raises doubt over the penalty kick that was awarded to Milan against Juventus on Sunday. ............ Although the contest ended goalless, Milan had several chances to break the deadlock, no more so than the spot-kick that Marco Guida awarded them in the second half. It all stemmed from a clever long ball from Luka Modric, who picked up Santi Gimenez’s run to the box. While the ball was sailing in his direction, the Mexican striker was involved in a tussle inside the box with Juventus defender Lloyd Kelly, before going to the ground. The referee immediately pointed towards the spot, and the VAR was happy with the decision, choosing not to intervene. ............ Nevertheless, many Juventus supporters were still livid with the decision, considering it a harsh call, since Kelly didn’t commit a clear violation. ............ For his part, Marelli resonates with the black-and-white fanbase, noting that the English defender didn’t clip Gimenez. “There was contact, but I’m having a hard time understanding if there was a violation,” said the reputable former referee during his post-match appearance. “Guida assessed it while being in an excellent position. Kelly’s arms may have been involved, but there was no contact between the legs. “Dismissal? It can’t constitute a red card because Gimenez didn’t have possession.” This isn’t the first time this season that questionable decisions have gone against Juventus. Igor Tudor was left fuming following two grave errors committed against his team in the 1-1 draw against Hellas Verona. .

“You will never be a foe” – Allegri given hero’s welcome by Juventus fans Max Allegri received a warm reception from the adoring Bianconeri crowd ahead of the big Serie A clash between Juventus and Milan. Unfortunately for the fans in attendance at the Allianz Stadium and viewers watching at home, the encounter didn’t live up to the expectations, ending in a goalless draw. ............ The Juventus fans jeered while the stadium announcer was listing Milan’s starting lineup, as per custom. However, the mood drastically changed when Allegri’s name was announced, drawing applause from the black-and-white army. The ultras in the Curva Sud then held a banner that read: “We are always proud of you, thank you for everything, Max Allegri.” ............ Moreover, these ultras groups had already posted a statement on social media, expressing their gratitude towards the 58-year-old: “You will never be an opponent. A great coach. Because you may not have entertained us, but you brought so much joy to us, mister. Welcome home.” Allegri also shared a few hugs and laughs with some of his former players before the match, including Kenan Yildiz. ............ After the contest, the Livorno native admitted that his return to the stadium was a rather emotional affair. “It was emotional. I saw so many people who supported me during my eight years at Juventus, people with whom we celebrated and even cried, because there were some difficult moments,” said Allegri in his post-match interview. “I thank them and the fans, who welcomed me so warmly. Now I’m at Milan, we took home a point, but we could have done better: when you have to ‘bite’ the opponent.” .

Tudor ‘didn’t hear’ stadium jeers, defends struggling Juventus star & names Scudetto favourites Juventus manager Igor Tudor made some interesting comments following his team’s goalless draw against Milan, especially when asked about the full-time whistles. ............ While the Bianconeri were the slightly better team in the first half, Max Allegri’s men were more dangerous after the break. They came close to breaking the deadlock, but Christian Pulisic sent his penalty kick high and wide, while Rafael Leao spurned two easy chances following his introduction. ............ “After we switched to a 3-5-2, they stopped creating chances,” said Tudor while speaking to the press after the match. “It was a difficult match, it’s a shame because we tried to win. The draw is fair.” “The changes? It was a choice we had to make. We had planned to take off Conceicao at that moment, due to his physical condition. David and Yildiz were tired. “To send the message that we wanted to win, we put two forwards, and three in the middle to contain well in that area of the pitch.” ............ “Pressure is part of this club. I liked David’s display, but I didn’t like that he couldn’t score. He’s a goalscorer, but even if he didn’t score, he did well. “You make decisions, you watch, you observe, and off you go.” When the referee blew the final whistle, the Juventus fans in the stands responded with jeers, voicing their irritation with the team’s performance. And yet, Tudor claimed he didn’t hear them, but is rather satisfied with the team’s status. “Jeers? I didn’t hear them, I immediately headed down the tunnel.” “I’m satisfied. This is a positive, united dressing room, with a mentality of working hard and always doing better. We’ve made very few mistakes in games; I’ve played about twenty since I’ve been here. None of them were easy, but we’ve made very few mistakes. ............ “Nobody likes Juve drawing or not winning. I have an eye and a conscience when the team does what it should and when it doesn’t.” Finally, the Croatian identified Inter as the best-equipped team to clinch the Scudetto title. “I don’t think this is the right time to pass judgment on Juventus (as a Scudetto contender). Inter are above the rest. This is how I see it, and then we’ll see what the future holds. . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/tudor-juventus-jeers-struggling-david/

Juventus 0 - AC Milan 0: Initial reaction and random observations Following Sunday’s scoreless draw with Max Allegri and AC Milan, these two things are true about Juventus … Juve have not lost a game during the six-game stretch of fixtures between the September international break and the October international break. Juve have not won a game in over three weeks since the wild comeback against Inter Milan in the Derby d’Italia that started the post-international break slate of fixtures. This is where things stand after when happened in Allegri’s first game back at the Allianz Stadium following his departure from the club he coached to five Serie A titles and a couple of Champions League final appearances. The state of the current squad doesn’t exactly feel all that much better than when Allegri left — and that was proof once again on Sunday as Juve struggled with more inconsistencies up front in the final third as well as errors that nearly cost them dearly and could have seen them suffer their first defeat of the 2025-26 season. Plus, it always helps when your opponent misses a penalty like Christian Pulisic did in the 53rd minute to keep the game scoreless and give Juventus a chance to actually get the win over the subsequent 30-plus minutes. ............ Whether it was that big Jonathan David stumble in the first half that saw one of Juve’s few chances up to that point go for naught or Mike Maignan’s big close-range save on Federico Gatti, it’s not like Igor Tudor’s side was putting a ton of pressure on the Milan defense. Just on the face of it, is a draw against an in-form Milan side like they are right now a necessarily bad thing? No, despite Juve’s recent success in this matchup between the two historic rivals. But when you pile on draw after draw after draw after draw and now a fifth straight draw, it becomes a little worrisome to say the least. ............ On this night, a predictably cagey matchup proved to be exactly that. Both teams struggled for a large swaths of the game to get attacking momentum going, with Juve really only having to sustain a big Milan push coming both before and after the PK miss by Pulisic. Other than that, it’s not like either goalkeeper was very busy, although both Maignan and Michele Di Gregorio had to make a few big saves apiece. Ultimately, this night will be remembered more for what either team was unable to do in the final third more than anything else. ............ There’s a lot for Tudor to think about during these next two weeks of the international break — especially since the later part of October isn’t going to get any easier domestically and in Europe. No matter what, though, this will be a 90 or so minutes in which we can all probably say we will want to forget about as soon as possible during the international break. At least that’s how I feel all about that. RANDOM THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS Don’t look now, but with Sunday night’s result Juventus officially have as many draws in Serie A as they do wins this season. ............ But hey, at least Juve got a clean sheet, right? That’s the first one of those since the final day of August. That’s nearly six weeks! That’s a long time. David will get a lot of stick for that first-half miss he had — and rightfully so. That doesn’t mean it was an easy thing he had to do, essentially having to try and get around the ball by moving his body backwards and it clearly was his downfall from there as he somehow got airborne. Not saying I forgive him for it, just trying to figure out just how the hell it actually happened. ............ Daniele Rugani was thrust into the starting lineup — his first start for Juve in a year and a half! — and pretty much did exactly what he needed to do. That’s the Rugani I know and appreciate even if he’s never lived up to the hype from a decade or so ago. That doesn’t mean I don’t want to see Bremer in there against Como two weeks from now. I want him to be healthy, happy and playing well because this team needs that desperately. It wasn’t a surprise that Allegri got a warm reception before kickoff, but it’s still very nice to see. You know who didn’t? Adrien Rabiot, who got a good amount of whistles form the curva after his first shot attempt of the night went flying well over the Juve goal. One of these guys is not like the other. Kenan Yildiz with his second relatively quiet game of the week. He attempted just one shot, which was blocked, and was subbed off in the 69th minute. (Nice?) Tudor himself said afterward that Yildiz was looking tired. The kid is tired! He’s played a ton of minutes already this season after a 2024-25 season in which he also played a ton of minutes as a teenager. Just because he’s 20 doesn’t mean he’s invisible to fatigue — and it’s showing. ............ David, who also part of that three-man swap, touched the ball a total of 16 times. What I’m trying to say here is that Juve’s two main strikers barely saw any of the ball against Milan. To his credit, though, even though Vlahovic didn’t see much of the ball at all after coming on he did try and will his teammates to push forward more and try and get something going. It didn’t work, but he tried. I’m still not convinced in regard to Pierre Kalulu being Juve’s main wingback on the right. ............ Di Gregorio didn’t look completely convincing in goal against Milan, but he made that big save on Rafa Leao late in the game so I guess I am able to forgive him a little bit. Just in case you were wondering, the Leao shot from midfield that put a bit of a scare into Di Gregorio had an xG of 0.01. Sounds about right. ............ There was a point in this game where Luka Modric was marking Yildiz a couple of times and that means you had a 20-year-old trying to get past a 40-year-old and it was the latter who shut things down to force a corner. ............ After the last few weeks, I feel like a two-week break from watching Juventus will probably do a lot of us a good amount of good mental health. ............

Juventus 0-0 Milan – Kalulu: ‘We’re Not Happy With The Point’ in 0-0 draw Juventus defender Pierre Kalulu expressed disappointment after the Bianconeri’s 0-0 draw with Milan, describing the result as “a point we’re obliged to take” after another cagey contest. ............ Speaking in the post-match press conference, Kalulu said his side wanted more from the evening: “It was a complicated game against a very strong team in form. Both sides had chances to score. We’re not satisfied with the draw, but we have to take it and focus on the next match.” ............ The Frenchman was once again deployed in a more advanced role and looked good on the right flank. ............ “Everyone has their preferences, but in that position, I can maybe score more goals. My goal is to be as complete as possible – maybe in a month or two, you’ll prefer seeing me higher up the pitch.” ............ Asked about the team’s ambitions, Kalulu was clear: “Our goal is always to stay at the top. That never changes.” ............ .

Juventus 0-0 Milan – Tudor defends substituting Yildiz & Conceicao in stalemate Juventus were held to a goalless draw by Milan at the Allianz Stadium on Saturday evening, with Igor Tudor’s side once again left frustrated in front of goal. The Bianconeri battled hard in a cagey contest but failed to find a breakthrough, extending their streak of low-scoring outings under the Croatian coach. ............ “It was the kind of match we expected – difficult, against a strong team,” Tudor said. “We wanted to win, both sides created chances, and in the end, a draw is fair.” ............ “Yildiz, Conceição and David were tired – they’ve played so much. We tried to finish with more cover and energy.” ............ “Bremer felt some discomfort and we didn’t want to risk him. After the break, he’ll be fine.” ............ “With two more goals, we’d have two more wins. That’s football. We have to keep working – we’ll always be on track.” .

Juventus Player Ratings vs Milan: Uneventful Bianconeri Held Again Juventus and Milan shared the spoils in a dramatic 0-0 draw in Sunday’s Serie A classic at the Allianz Stadium. Despite a scoreless outcome, the match was far from dull as both teams had their chances to take all three points. ............ However, it was a forgettable first half in Turin as neither team could impose itself. Chances were few and far between, with both defenses standing firm and midfield battles dominating the opening 45 minutes. Juventus came agonizingly close to drawing first blood at the start of the second half. Yet, Mike Maignan pulled off an astonishing save to deny Federico Gatti’s close-range volley. The Bianconeri nearly got punished for Gatti’s miss as Lloyd Kelly tackled Santiago Gimenez to the ground inside the box. Christian Pulisic took the spot-kick dreadfully, blazing his shot well over the crossbar. Still, Milan could’ve snapped up a late win, only for Rafael Leao to miskick the ball in a one-on-one situation against Michele Di Gregorio. In the end, Juventus preserved their undefeated record in the 2025/26 Serie A season but lost further ground on pacesetters Napoli. ............ Juventus (3-4-2-1) Michele Di Gregorio – 8/10 The highly-rated goalkeeper saved his team tonight, making several important stops to thwart Gimenez, Pulisic, and Leao. Lloyd Kelly – 4/10 Erratic and clumsy, the Englishman gave away a chip penalty and was lucky to get away without a booking after making a silly foul on Youssouf Fofana. Daniele Rugani – 7/10 Unlike his defensive colleague, the Italian ace did well for most of the game, though Gimenez caught him off guard once, which nearly led to Milan’s goal. Federico Gatti – 7/10 Though he was Juventus’ best-performing center-back tonight, the former Frosinone star will not forget that 48th minute anytime soon. He did everything right, only for Maignan’s brilliance to deny him celebrations. Andrea Cambiaso – 5/10 ............ Weston McKennie – 6/10 ............ Manuel Locatelli – 7/10 Apart from a reckless yellow card at the start of the second half, the Juventus captain had a near-spotless game, dictating the pace with composure and precision. Pierre Kalulu – 6/10 ............ Kenan Yildiz – 4/10 In such a cagey affair, where Juventus needed a moment of brilliance to unlock Milan’s defensive block, their No.10 failed to rise to the occasion and looked largely ineffective before being subbed off. Francisco Conceciao – 5/10 Despite showing plenty of ambition, the diminutive winger couldn’t make an impact, often struggling to outpace Davide Bartesaghi. Jonathan David – 2/10 A night to forget for the struggling Canadian striker saw him fluff his lines, the only time he had a chance to put Maignan to the test. His dreadful start in Turin continues.

Juventus Player Ratings vs Milan: Di Gregorio salvages a point in dull affair Juventus registered their fifth draw in as many matches across all competitions, after firing blanks against Milan. Much was expected from the Allianz Stadium clash between the two old Serie A rivals, but the action fell off the mark. The Bianconeri had very few chances to score, with the most memorable being Federico Gatti’s close-range attempt that was miraculously denied by Mike Maignan. ............ Juventus (4-2-3-1) Michele Di Gregorio – 8 A superb showing from the Italian goalkeeper who pulled off a string of saves, including a late one on Leao. Federico Gatti – 6 The former Frosinone man should have done better in front goal, but was somehow denied by Maignan. But did well at the back. Daniele Rugani – 6.5 A confident display from the experienced defender, although Santi Gimenez gave him a few scares. Lloyd Kelly – 6 The Englishman was solid in defence, but gave away a spot kick. While it was a harsh decision, he should have avoided the situation by beating Gimenez to the ball. Pierre Kalulu – 6 ............ Manuel Locatelli – 6 ............ Weston McKennie – 5.5 ............ Andrea Cambiaso – 5.5 ............ Francisco Conceicao – 6.5 The Portuguese was an absolute livewire down the right flank. He was easily Juve’s main source of danger, but his impact dwindled as the match progressed. Kenan Yildiz – 5.5 The Turk began his evening with some flashes of brilliance, but the tide gradually turned in Youssouf Fofana’s favour, with the Frenchman getting the better of him. Jonathan David – 5.5 The energetic Canadian pressed high and connected with his teammates. However, Juventus need goals from their main striker, whereas the 25-year-old slipped when he had the opportunity to threaten his former Lille teammate, Maignan. Substitutes Khephren Thuram – 6 ............ Dusan Vlahovic – 5 ............ Loic Openda – 5.5 The Belgian wasted a promising chance with a wayward shot. Filip Kostic – N/A .
