Here are my three thoughts on Milan and Juventus’s 0-0 draw on Sunday: • This looked like a Serie A game from the old days. In a chippy game with 35 fouls and four yellow cards (there probably should have been more), Juventus locked things down and came away with a point despite not having a single shot on goal. It extended Juve’s unbeaten streak to nine games in the league and left Milan in third place (behind Inter and Napoli, the latter on goal-difference). Neither team had any golden scoring chances, and it was a bummer to see Zlatan Ibrahimovic come off in 28th minute with what appeared to be a muscle injury. Juventus (42 points, one behind fourth-place Atalanta) has gotten back into the Serie A top four conversation over the past month and has been scoring goals at a decent clip, but it withdrew into itself during a difficult away game and will probably feel the better of the two teams afterward. Serie A hasn’t been your father’s defensive-minded Serie A for many years, but this game was a bit of a throwback to those days.
Hi Grant, where did you watch this game?
