AC Milan have won only twice in the last 11 games.

Juventus nearly punished their profligacy as Stephan Lichsteiner drove a low cross along the edge of the six yard box, however Gianluigi Donnarumma was able to palm it away before Mario Mandzukic could get a shot away. After that, it was an even match until Morata’s late strike. The victory also ensured that Milan will miss out on European football for a third consecutive year. If we play together we have a good chance.

In the final segment of added time, Milan substitute Jose Mauri sent a potential equalizer just wide.
