- Blaise Matuidi thought he had opened the scoring on 34 minutes, yet was hailed only offside as he jumped on a through ball to beat Gianluigi Donnarumma.
- Cristiano Ronaldo’s aerobatic mid-air volley from a Douglas Costa check skiped off the ground to brush the crossbar with Donnarumma attached to the spot.

It is a “no brainer” Juventus will always win in such an Italian game orchestrated by poor officiating. But Milan gave a good fight in it.
