Juventus drew 0-0 against AC Milan at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium in San Siro on April 26, 2026, in a crucial Serie A fixture. This result, while not fully satisfying either side, keeps the tight race for a top-four spot in the Italian championship wide open. The Bianconeri were seeking vital points to consolidate their position and fend off Como and Roma.
The stakes were incredibly high, with AC Milan, known as the Rossoneri, sitting just three points above the Old Lady in the league table. Juventus, for their part, had to contend with the absences of Arek Milik and Juan Cabal, while Kenan Yildiz and Dusan Vlahovic were only fit enough for the bench. Milan also faced challenges, with Davide Bartesaghi not at 100% fitness.
The match saw several goal-scoring opportunities. Youssouf Fofana of Juventus fired wide from a tricky angle after shaking off Andrea Cambiaso. Shortly after, Adrien Rabiot stung the gloves of Michele Di Gregorio with a powerful strike, with Rafael Leao then firing the follow-up over the bar. Milan also hit the crossbar through Alexis Saelemaekers, narrowly missing out on taking the lead.
Juventus thought they had taken the lead when Francisco Conceicao rolled the ball across for Khephren Thuram to slide in and score, but the goal was disallowed for offside. Conceicao proved dangerous on the right flank, with a shot parried by Mike Maignan's chest. Davide Bartesaghi of Milan struggled to keep up with Conceicao and was replaced by Pervis Estupinan at half-time.
Despite the efforts and chances created by both teams, the scoreboard remained at 0-0. This draw means Juventus failed to gain ground on Milan but still avoided a defeat that would have further complicated their pursuit of European qualification. The battle for Champions League spots in Serie A is therefore set to become even more thrilling in the coming matchdays.
