With Olivier Giroud’s only goal, AC Milan was able to secure a spot in the top 4 this season.
Juventus entered the match at home with a must-win mentality to retain hope of participating in the European Cup. However, that determination is not as specific as the quality of playing football on the field.
Right in the first half, AC Milan had impressive attacking situations. 12 minutes, Junior Messias tested the talent of goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny with a decisive cut.
The visitors’ offensive efforts finally paid off at the end of the first half. From captain Davide Calabria’s cross, veteran Olivier Giroud headed in the right direction to give AC Milan the lead.
After the break, Juventus pushed up the squad to find an equalizer. They hit 9 shots, unfortunately, not a single phase of the ball was concretized into a goal.
Losing the final 0-1, Juventus is 1 point away from the group participating in the European Cup . Meanwhile, AC Milan with 67 points after 37 rounds, they have definitely qualified for the Champions League next season.
Final: Juventus 0-1 AC Milan
