AC Milan were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw in their second Soccer Champions Tour match against Juventus despite twice leading.
Malick Thiaw and Olivier Giroud got their names on the scoresheet in the first half but Milan were pegged back by goals from Danilo and Daniele Rugani. All four goals in the match came from set pieces.
Calciomercato.com have picked out the best performers for the Rossoneri from the game, starting with Tijjani Reijnders. The Dutchman catches the attention when he has the ball at his feet as he keeps his head up always travels fast. He could have had two assists for Olivier Giroud, but the passes were a bit in front of the Frenchman who was not ready.
Malick Thiaw showed with his height that he is a problem when it comes to set pieces in the opposing box. He scored a great header and then got the assist for Giroud’s goal, but Federico Chiesa did cause him some problems.
Luka Romero also continues to impress. This time he came on in the second half with the right attitude and the Argentine showed that he is already getting to grips with the workings of the team, and he came close to scoring again.
In terms of who struggled, Ruben Loftus-Cheek was not seen as much despite often pushing forward to support the attack. It is possible he is suffering a bit from the heavy workload in preseason, but he did lose his man Federico Gatti before the 1-1 goal.
Fikayo Tomori did not make any big errors like the one in the Real Madrid game, but he committed a few too many fouls and was not very precise in his distribution in the build-up phase.
Charles De Ketelaere came off the bench and should have taken advantage of these first summer friendlies to convince Stefano Pioli to keep him. He played as a mezzala, tasked with getting on the ball and driving forward with it, but his name was barely mentioned by the commentators.
