AC Milan again failed to spark its Champions League campaign into life as it was held 0-0 at Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday for its second straight goalless draw in the competition.
Milan, which reached last season’s semifinals, also drew 0-0 at home against Newcastle in their Champions League opener. And it could be left counting the cost of its profligacy in both matches.
“I am happy with the performance, but disappointed with the final result. We lacked efficiency, that is where we got it wrong. We have to learn from these matches and be more clinical in the next match.” “Oh, I think we’re still confident ,” Milan forward Christian Pulisic said."We’ve had some really good results this season. ... So I think we’re we’re in a good space now and we just have to keep pushing.”The German side went close several times in the first half as Donyell Malen drilled just wide of the right post and Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan pulled off saves to deny Niclas Füllkrug and Amir Bensebaïni.
The Rossoneri had a triple chance on the stroke of halftime as Leão's cross from the left flank was pushed away from the onrushing Giroud by Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel. The move continued and Tommaso Pobega had a shot blocked before Theo Hernández fired the rebound over.
