Facing a combative Genoa team, AC Milan's wasteful forwards could not break the deadlock in a 0-0 Serie A draw on Monday (December 16). Alvaro Morata came close in the 79th minute when he hit the crossbar. It was not enough to please a frustrated crowd and players were jeered at the final whistle. With one match in hand, Milan are lagging 14 points behind Atalanta. The game was preceded by a ceremony marking the club's 125th anniversary that brought together former Milan greats, including Franco Baresi, Marco van Basten and Filippo Inzaghi.
