The group stage of the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League season kicked off on Tuesday. Here are five takeaways from Match Day 1.
– who outshot the visitors 25-6 – were unable to score in front of their home fans and settled for a scoreless draw. It's a disappointing result, not least because AC Milan, semifinalists last season, were drawn into the dreaded Group of Death. That AC Milan's next two Champions League matches are away, first to Borussia Dortmund and then to Paris Saint-Germain, makes it even worse.
If one bad match can torpedo a team at the highest level, the same holds true for players. Christian Pulisic was perhaps manager Stefano Pioli's top performer through Milan's first three domestic matches. But after the American struggled mightily against Inter , Pioli dropped Pulisic from his starting lineup for Tuesday's contest. Pulisic was lively off the bench in the second half but couldn't produce the breakthrough.
