06:48 Zlatan misses chance to score goal

AC Milan’s 2020 began with a draw. The 0-0 end result was one that brought little satisfaction as the Rossoneri simply couldn’t find a way past Sampdoria, failing to score at home for the second time in a row after the goalless draw against Sassuolo. This lack of goals remains a problem to be solved. The performance was full of desire but unconvincing in terms of quality and clinicality, especially in attack. In the second half, it was the Blucerchiati who had more chances. Ibrahimović’s entry to the pitch gave some extra energy and fight to his teammates, but ultimately it wasn’t enough to change the outcome of the game. Zlatan’s debut was however one of the highlights of the day, especially for the fans (58,572 in number), who were never lacking in their support.
