Players to watch out for in the Milan vs Juventus Clash
juventus
Dusan Vlahović
One of the most important players for Juventus in this clash against Milan will be their star striker Vlahovic.
He was signed by Florentina for a great price of 80 million in January 2022. Since joining Juventus, he has not disappointed the Juventus manager. He has been an explosive striker up front. He is lethal in converting loose balls and also his passing game is to be commended.
Since joining Juventus, Vlahovic has been on fire. He has scored 15 goals in just 31 appearances so far. This season Vlahovic has been great. He has scored 5 goals and assisted once. Thus he has 6 goal contributions in 7 games. Therefore, against great rivals like Milan, he will be a crucial figure in the Juventus setup.
Philip Kostic
The next player to be crucial for Juventus will be their versatile left-back Filip Kostic. Kostic has been a very influential player at left back for Juventus.
He is very versatile and can play in any position on the left back. He has played left back on the left or even left back or left back. Kostic is equally effective with respect to the position in which he plays on the left side.
Kostic was a great signing for Juventus this season and he has not disappointed. In 11 appearances (all competitions) he has provided 2 assists and scored a great goal. In general, in the big game clash against AC Milan away from home at San Siro. Kostic’s performance will be key for his team and will easily tip the tie in favor of Juventus.
AC Milan
Rafael Leao
Portuguese international Rafael Leao has been the key player for AC Milan. This season he has shown excellent form. He is one of the select few players in Milan this year who has started every game. Leao has been able to score 4 goals and provide 5 assists in the first nine games of the season.
Especially after their humiliating loss to Chelsea, Milan have a challenging home game. His confidence in Leao will be fundamental. When playing against a tenacious Juventus defense that Allegri has trained to be difficult to break, Leao will need to play a scoring and goal-setting role.
fikayo tomori
Former Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori will be Milan’s next big player. He had a poor night at his previous home ground in the UCL, allowing three goals that night.
He has played a crucial role in defending Milan. Maignan Tomori will now be in charge of leading Milan’s defense against Chelsea’s attack because their starting goalkeeper is out. He will be the linchpin in the effort to stave off strikers like Vlahovic and Milik. Overall, Tomori will have contributed if Milan can emerge victorious from a difficult game against a reinvigorated Juventus.
