Allegri Backs Giménez, Admits Substitution Error After Milan’s 0-0 at Juventus

Milan sit third in Serie A as attention turns to Giménez’s work beyond goals.

Overview

  • Juventus and AC Milan drew 0-0 at the Allianz Stadium on October 5 in a tense Serie A matchup.
  • Santiago Giménez started and won a 52nd‑minute penalty after a foul by Lloyd Kelly, but Christian Pulisic sent the spot kick over the crossbar.
  • Giménez played 63 minutes, recorded one shot on target and finished with 82% passing accuracy.
  • Massimiliano Allegri praised Giménez as fundamental to Milan’s play and later told DAZN he made a mistake by substituting him.
  • The result leaves Milan on 13 points, two behind leaders Napoli and Roma on 15, with the international break up next.
