Milan to visit old rivals Juve
AC Milan bounce straight from one massive game to another on Sunday when they travel to fierce rivals Juventus still reeling from defeat in their first Champions League match since 2014.
The seven-time European champions came away from Anfield with some lessons to learn after spending the vast majority of their 3-2 defeat to Liverpool on the back foot.
In the opening 20 minutes Stefano Pioli's side looked overawed by the occasion and a full, pulsating stadium after playing their domestic matches in grounds kept at 50 percent capacity as according to Italy's Covid-19 regulations.
And once 2-1 ahead against the run of play at half-time through goals by Ante Rebic and Brahim Diaz they then crumbled in the face of Liverpool pressure after the break and could have lost by more.
"The fact that we were in the game until the end is a sign of the level we have reached," Pioli said after the match.
"We're talking about a really high standard and we're not quite there but we'll use this match to grow and gain more experience."
They have an immediate test at the Allianz Stadium in probably the biggest match of the Serie A season so far, as Juve try to build on their 3-0 win at Malmo and crack Milan's perfect start to the league campaign.
Massimiliano Allegri's side were considered the pre-season favourites for the Scudetto but the sudden departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and only one draw to show from three matches has left them in disarray, eight points behind Milan, Napoli and league leaders Roma.
They will likely benefit from the absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who said on Thursday he wasn't sure he would recover from an Achilles tendon injury in time for the trip west.
The Swedish star picked up the knock after scoring in an impressive 2-0 win over Lazio last weekend, his first match in over four months, and missed the trip to England.
