AEK Athens 0-0 AC Milan: Goalless Draw Leaves Both Sides in the Qualification Places of Group D

AC Milan were held to another goalless draw against AEK Athens on Thursday night in a contest of very few chances that leaves both sides in the qualifying positions of Europa League Group D.

Young stars Andre Silva and Manuel Locatelli returned to the Milan starting line-up after being benched for the 2-0 loss to Juventus, with Leonardo Bonucci also starting despite his domestic suspension for a red card against Genoa.

AEK were without their captain Petros Mantalos after he sadly tore his ACL for the second time in his career on the weekend against Panionios.

Milan have won the European Cup twice at the Athens Olympic Stadium and they could have guaranteed their promotion from Group D if their good fortune continued with three points tonight.
