AC Milan created more chances than their opponents last night in Dortmund and feel disappointed with a draw that might have been considered a good result when the schedule came out.
Calciomercato.com write about the ‘truly paradoxical night was experienced by Milan’ at Signal Iduna Park. The Rossoneri withstood the first half pressure from their hosts, created more clear scoring opportunities and leave with a draw that has a bitter taste.
Never in their history have Milan gone four consecutive Champions League games without managing to score a goal (the run continuing from the semi-finals last season), yet across the Newcastle and Borussia Dortmund games the Rossoneri had 39 shots.
Pioli wants to see the positive side of a team that creates a lot but the Champions League ranking shows how complex the next two matches will be for qualification.
Olivier Giroud was part of the reason Milan struggled in the final third, as he missed a big chance and seemed to get generally swept up by the intensity of the game.
Noah Okafor is coming off an extraordinary run of form and could now find more space than at the start of the season. The Swiss forward cannot be the panacea for Milan’s attack problem but he can certainly become a good solution.
