Another setback for Juventus – Milan continues to stumble

After just a few minutes, Juve suffered their first setback. Top performer Paulo Dybala was substituted in the 12th minute due to an injury. 19-year-old Kaio Jorge came in for the Argentine. At first the Old Lady hardly seemed to be influenced by the circumstances and took the lead through Alvaro Morata (32'). But this was to be Turin's only goal in the 1-1 draw against Venezia.

While the narrow half-time lead was fully deserved, Juve allowed the home team to get more and more into the game in the minutes after the break. That's why Mattia Aramu's equalizer didn't come out of nowhere. The Italian took courage in the 55th minute and smashed the ball into the bottom left corner, giving Wojciech Szczesny no chance. Juve without a move to the goal – catch-up effort stopped for the time being The rest of the game was largely uninspired, with Juventus' final offensive offering little chance of a late winning goal. Because of the draw they deserved in the end, Juventus has to settle for one point and, after three wins in a row without conceding a single goal, they have to give up again.

With regard to the table, Massimiliano Allegri's team is threatened with another setback in the fight for the CL places. Milan, Inter, Atalanta and Napoli all still have to play their games and could therefore gain further space at the top of the table. Ibrahimovic saves weak Milan Endless possession of the ball, not a single shot on goal in regular time. Milan drifted towards their third defeat in sixth game in their away game against Udinese. In the end it was Zlatan Ibrahimovic who saved the draw for the Rossoneri in the 92nd minute. Was visibly not satisfied with the performance: Zlatan Ibrahimovic (r.). © APA/afp / MARCO BERTORELLO

Although the defeat was averted, Stefano Pioli's team remained without a win for the sixth time in nine games. After the Milanese started Serie A with twelve unbeaten games in a row, they are now stuck in a small crisis. Of course, the injury-related absences (Kjaer, Calabria, Rebic and Leao) are not innocent in this misery.

Looking at the table, Milan must now expect to lose their lead. Both Inter, Napoli and Atalanta are in action on Sunday and can bring the top team closer together. The next top game in Serie A is scheduled for the next matchday. Then Milan hosts Napoli at home. Will the Rossoneri's negative trend continue?
