No attacking threat: Juventus’ first away defeat in 28 matches can put be down to their lack of cutting edge in the final third. Once again the Bianconeri saw more of the ball at the San Siro, recording 58% possession, playing 656 balls compared to AC Milan’s 490, and had a pass completion rate of 68%, compared to the Rossoneri’s 58%. Juve also spent 16:29 in their opponents half, more than double Allegri’s men (8:04).
But they had fewer shots: 13 in total, with only 3 on target. AC Milan meanwhile had 15 attempts, with 6 troubling Buffon. The Rossoneri also came out on top in terms of attacks on goal and dangerousness: 60.7% and 44.1% vs. 49.1% and 38.5%.
Even the individual figures reflect the way the game went for the visitors - lots of the ball but few shots. The proof is that there are only Juve players at the top of the pass completion chart: Pirlo (58), Bonucci (57) and, a little way behind, Vidal, Caceres, Barzagli and Marchisio. On the other hand, it was the hosts who had more shots, particularly Boateng who tried his luck on 4 occasions, followed by Montolivo (3). Nocerino and El Shaarawy shot twice, the same number as Vucinic and Marchisio.
