**Juventus and Milan Share Points After 0-0 Draw at Allianz Stadium**
Juventus and Milan played out a goalless draw this evening at the Allianz Stadium, a match that was notably marked by a dramatic penalty miss from in-form Rossoneri forward Christian Pulisic.
The game began in a cautious manner, with neither side willing to take early risks. A bright moment came from Davide Bartesaghi, who made a strong run down the left flank and delivered an inviting cross into the box for Fofana, but the striker ballooned the ball over the bar.
Milan’s Jonathan David faced more frustration in front of goal, continuing his struggles in a series of communication mix-ups with teammate Weston McKennie. In the first instance, David rose to meet a cross and headed the ball down to McKennie, who was unable to react in time. The ensuing ten minutes saw a tactical midfield battle, broken occasionally by threatening plays down the wings.
Juventus capitalized on wide spaces, with McKennie involved again, albeit delaying his reaction in the box and eventually conceding a free-kick for a foul on Fofana.
Both sides looked most dangerous when exploiting the flanks, but lacked precision in final deliveries. Milan’s first real chance came shortly after the twenty-minute mark when Christian Pulisic intercepted possession in midfield and made a strong run all the way to Juventus’ penalty area, only to lose his footing just as he was about to strike.
A poor clearance by Juventus nearly gifted Fofana a chance, but the Old Lady’s defense quickly regrouped. David and McKennie’s miscommunication occurred again, squandering another opportunity. Juventus continued probing wide areas with crosses aimed at McKennie, who deflected one attempt out for a goal kick.
Moments later, Locatelli delivered an excellent pass through to Kalulu on the right flank, who set up Jonathan David—but the summer signing slipped at a crucial moment.
Before halftime, Milan’s last clear chance saw Pavlovic surge down the wing and send in a teasing ball to Santiago Gimenez, whose header from close range sailed wide.

### Pulisic Misses Penalty as Milan Miss Out on Victory
The second half saw Juventus begin strongly. A short corner from Conceicao allowed the winger to swing in a dangerous ball to the far post, where defender Gatti volleyed fiercely—only to be denied by a stunning reflex save from Milan keeper Maignan.
In the 52nd minute, Milan finally earned a penalty when Lloyd Kelly clumsily fouled Gimenez inside the Juventus box. Christian Pulisic stepped up to take the spot-kick but shockingly fired the shot over the crossbar, handing Juventus a significant lifeline.
Following the penalty miss, Milan asserted greater control, with Luka Modric dictating play through the midfield. Juventus had some flashes of attacking intent after the hour mark, while Milan brought on Rafael Leao, who almost made an immediate impact by attempting a lob from the halfway line. Although the shot was well struck, Juventus goalkeeper Di Gregorio managed to tip it just over the bar.

### Substitutions Fail to Break Deadlock
Both coaches made tactical changes in search of a breakthrough. Milan’s Tudor introduced players such as Dusan Vlahovic and Emmanuel Openda, while Juventus’ Allegri brought on Leao, Christopher Nkunku, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
While Juventus’ substitutions injected much-needed energy, the removal of their two most influential players, Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao, seemed to cost them momentum.
The closing stages saw the game slow down, with Tudor’s introduction of Filip Kostic for Daniele Rugani proving too little, too late. Juventus remained resolute in defense, securing a valuable clean sheet on home soil.
Leao had two late chances to snatch victory for Milan but failed to make clean contact, leaving the scoreline unchanged.

### Conclusion
Despite dominating possession and creating chances, Milan will rue Pulisic’s missed penalty and the opportunity to collect all three points against one of their fiercest rivals at the Allianz Stadium. Juventus, meanwhile, will be satisfied to have held firm and secured a point in a tightly contested battle.
