🏆 👉 AC Milan ended the UEFA Champions League Group Stage game against Newcastle United with a goalless draw on Tuesday 19 September 2023 at San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy. There were numerous scoring opportunities for the Rossoneri, especially in the first half. Opportunities for Chukwueze, Olivier Giroud, Theo Hernandez, Rafael Leao, Pobega and Reijnders. Newcastle United dangerous only in full recovery with Longstaff. Bad news for AC Milan are the muscle injuries for Maignan and Loftus-Cheek.
In the next round of the Champions League for Milan, away match at Borussia Dortmund, Newcastle will play at home against PSG.
Stats before the game: This is the first official meeting between Milan and Newcastle: the Rossoneri have won only one of the last 11 matches against English teams (2D, 8L), but the success came against Tottenham in last season’s Champions League (1-0 at the Meazza ). Newcastle enjoyed success in their last European away game against Italian opposition, beating Palermo 1-0 in the 2006/07 UEFA Cup. Prior to that, the Magpies had failed to win any of their first four away games in Italy (D2, L2). This will be Milan’s 20th participation in the Champions League, only Juventus (23) has more among Italian teams. After seven seasons of absence between 2014-15 and 2020-21, this is the Rossoneri’s third consecutive edition in the competition. Semi-finalists last season, Milan have only been eliminated in the group stage in one of their last 14 Champions League appearances (in 2021-22). This will be Newcastle’s third season in the Champions League, after 1997-98 and 2002-03. Their last game in the tournament was 20 years and 184 days ago, the longest such gap for an English team in the competition.
Lineup AC MILAN (4-3-3): Maignan; Calabria, Thiaw, Tomori, Hernández; Loftus-Cheek, Krunić, Pobega; Chukwueze, Giroud, Leão.
