The best chance for a goal was Leao but he didn't maximize it well. The result is now a 0-0 draw with AC Milan dominating with 25 shots and 9 shots on goal and with possession too.

Basically, AC Milan's attack was good enough to tire Newcastle's defense but on the other hand, the opponent's defense was really strong so the few times the attack came they could overcome it, this is a fierce match of course, but my prediction is not up to a draw but it is according to the facts now.

After seeing the kind of pressure that Milan mounted on the Newcastle side, I was hoping that Milan would trash Newcastle United on their home soil at least 1:0, but looks like the visitor's aim of today's game was targeted on locking horns with their opponent and which they achieved.
The opportunity that Leao got could have been an account-opening goal for Milan,  but he couldn't utilize it.
Generally, the game was an entertaining goalless draw.

Milan hit a lot of shots, but Newcastle are showing real English football. I don't know if they can hold their defence for the rest of the game or even win, but I think Milan deserve to win more. Although it wouldn't be surprising if the game ends in a draw.
If you look at the statistics, AC Milan should be able to win, but that's how football is, sometimes luck is really needed in a match, and in this match luck was not on AC Milan's side. In that match, AC Milan recorded 25 shots, but were unable to score against Newcastle, only 8 shots were on target. Meanwhile, Newcastle recorded 6 shots with only 1 shot on target.

Indeed, if you look at the statistics, the draw was probably unfair for AC Milan and that is what football can do. In conclusion, I saw that in this match, AC Milan's front line was less effective in finishing, while Newcastle's game was less calm, too rushed so they didn't know the direction of the game.

AC Milan 0:0 Newcastle United

A disappointing result from the AC Milan team who failed to make use of their opportunities to score against the Newcastle team that was seen as the underdog in this very game. AC Milan wasted all the 8 goal attempt they had they couldn't convert a single one to take all 3 points from the visiting team who didn't do much but to defend till the end of the game.

I think the hero of this game tonight should be the Newcastle goal keeper Nick Pope he deserves to be the man of the match.
Nick Pope's performance in this match was very good, he was quite calm and made several important saves for his team. In fact, the analysis of several betting books about this match is reasonable, meaning that this match is really difficult to determine who the winner is.

Basically I tend to hope that Milan can win this match and they deserve to win it, but Newcastle's strong defense really makes all Milan's efforts fail. Milan fired more than 20 shots, but none of these opportunities turned into goals because of poor finishing and also because Newcastle's defense was really tight. Until the match ended, both teams failed to score, but that was a bit unfair for Milan.

It is true that this is a loss for Milan their efforts failed because Newcastle implemented double defense even though the final result was a draw of course Newcastle had the advantage I mean they can take advantage of the opportunity to play in the second leg and Milan's task will be even harder. Honestly, I'm worried that Milan will stop in the group phase especially those in the strongest group. PSG and Dortmund are waiting for them in the upcoming match, I don't know how Malin can collect points besides playing at home.

Assuming this was last season when Newcastle was in good form, AC would have found this match much difficult. Honestly this match this evening is very interesting. As expected AC Milan has dominated the match from the start and have made so many attempts to score, but Pope the goalkeeper of Newcastle has vowed not to conceive any goal in the first half.
The pressure is much on Newcastle but it's likely Newcastle us going to survive this first half because they are gradually calming the pressure

Milan still dominated attacks in the second half and they really tried to score goals. Some of the opportunities they created were not able to be converted into goals, but we all know that Milan had good game play and they really threatened Newcastle's defense.

The tension in this match was very high because Milan, who did not want to end the match with a draw, still made a lot of efforts by building attacks from various sides. So far their efforts have not been successful, but I think Milan need to take advantage of the few minutes remaining in the match to score and win this match.
Unfortunately for Milan the game has ended with a draw, this is the kind of result that can eventually come down to haunt a team, as Milan had enough opportunities to score and yet they failed to do it, now the group stage is just starting but this is often the kind of game players remember and think that if they could have done things differently then they could have obtained a result which actually matched their performance on the field.

It is really unbelievable that Milan still couldn't manage to score any goal. They have wasted so many opportunities generously. Rafael Leao's fail after great moves was really a disappointment. He wanted to score an artistic goal but messed it up. The first half was completely under control of Milan. I would have expected them to finish the half by a few goals ahead to tell the truth.

Milan are still fighting with their everything but there is still no goal while there are 10 minutes left to the end. Newcastle are defending them with like all of their players at the moment. They just want to secure one point after struggling a lot against this Milan dominance. I would love to see Milan winning this as they deserve it but let's see.

Milan had very good dominance in this match but unfortunately, Milan did not succeed in turning the opportunities they had into goals. Although indeed, with statistics like this, Milan should have scored in this match, but Milan couldn't do it well. Of course, a draw at home is a bad result for Milan, unless Milan doesn't have good statistics then it's probably natural that the result is a draw. But yes, a draw like this also at least opens up opportunities for Newcastle, maybe they will produce the same result in the next match. Because honestly, it seems that in this group phase we are quite looking forward to the results that Newcastle will get as newcomers to the Champions League this season.

I was watching the game between AC Milan and Newcastle United, and it was a fairly normal match. AC Milan came close to winning especially in the second half. The Newcastle team was playing a highly defensive strategy and seemed determined to secure a draw. It was unfortunate that Leao missed that opportunity to score a goal but that's all right.

I'll be tuning in to watch FC Barcelona in a bit.

So far their efforts have not been successful, but I think Milan need to take advantage of the few minutes remaining in the match to score and win this match.
In the first half, Newcastle and Milan were still equally awkward in attacking each other. It can be seen how both of them are quite unfamiliar with each other's game and the first half statistics are very balanced. In the second half, Milan played more openly and actively attacked, but they couldn't create an opening when they were in the penalty box. Meanwhile, Newcastle was only able to defend and couldn't get out of the pressure and had difficulty building attacks. I realized that this draw was still detrimental to Milan because playing on their own field they were unable to score a single goal. Giroud and Leao have difficulty creating goal opportunities, so I think Newcastle is good enough to hold Milan with a score of 0:0. Another difference may be the strategy where Newcastle uses more long-range passes and Milan is more active with close-range passes. From a total of 25 shots, only 9 were on target, Milan was ahead of the statistics but the results were clearly considered disappointing.

Tonight, the the first legs of the Group Stage of the UEFA Champions League will be played. I will prefer to watch Paris Saint-Germain - Borussia Dortmund match. The result of the match between PSG and Dortmund is difficult to predict however in my opinion, the favorite team is Paris Saint-Germain. The match will be a tough fight between PSG and Dortmund but I feel like we will watch a very enjoyable match.

Paris Saint-Germain's starting XI against Borussia Dortmund : Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Lucas Hernández; Ugarte, Vitinha, Zaïre-Emery; Dembélé, Kolo Muani, Mbappé.

Borussia Dortmund 's starting XI against Paris Saint-Germain: Kobel; Ryerson, Süle, Hummels, Schlotterbeck; Sabitzer, Wolf, Emre Can; Malen, Brandt; Adeyemi.
There's alot to expect in the opening game. PSG are the hosts and would always portrayed more pressure on the visitors without hesitation. Luis Enrique have another tests to pass if he still wants to maintain his position as headcoach of Parisians. While Edin Terzic will likely settle for draw, moreover Dortmund are good when it comes to defensive strategy. Paris Saint-Germain vs Borrusia Dortmund is a tough fixture, I will just buy cheese and relaxed, wouldn't missed out on the game because I will be delighted to see entertaining performances from both sides.

I also prefer PSG vs Dortmund, and yes the result of this match will be difficult to predict because the Dortmund team can't be underestimated at all. Inded, PSG will be the favorite because they will play at home and odds for PSG is @1.71 while for Dortmund @4.30, but I think Dortmund team will make a very good effort in that match to get at least 1 point. But even so, PSG will also do their best to get the three points.
To be honest, I hope PSG can win very well but football is often unexpected.

These has been my thoughts even before the match started, Newcastle Would have been a better opponent had it been this game was last season when they were in their best form they would have even gotten a go already but watching this game right now it's just going to be a narrow escape for Newcastle until AC Milan scores. In the first half so far it's been 50:50 in possession but AC Milan has made good 6 goal attempt but are yet to convert any to a goal while Newcastle is yet to get a goal attempt until the fist half whistle was blown. The first half ended 0:0 all thanks to the Newcastle keeper for doing a very good job hoping he could do more in the second half of the game.

Yeah Milan continues to try to take advantage of their position playing at home at least 16 shots were fired and 7 of them were on target and if Milan continues to do this then their efforts could be successful in scoring goals. I understand Newcastle's target today is to draw then in the second leg they will try to beat Milan therefore Newcastle will guard their defense carefully and so far it works, but still this strategy is not really safe there is always a risk when Milan continues to attack.
Obviously there's a continuous attack and it won't be long before Milan may secure a goal because the keeper can't guarantee saving all the shots on target fired.  Before the game started I knew Newcastle will be playing a defensive strategy to get an away draw but that's very risky as pressure will keeping surmounting which can lead to a goal or more. Talking about how Newcastle would have played better if it was last season, I disagree on that, this is UCL and experience as a regular attendant has so much effect on how a team can perform and I think that's what Milan is using against Newcastle "UCL experience".

Newcastle can loss it in just one moment of distraction. AC Milan have a good record in the champions league of winning their first games, so Newcastle have to stay calm because they are in a tough group an need all the advantage that they can get. It is not easy to play in Italy and have a draw against one of the most experienced teams in the competition at their home. Callum Wilson will come in the second half, maybe Almiron and Lewis Hall, they may be the players to help Newcastle win their first game.
Newcastle surely know that they are not the favourites in this match and that is why they have remained calm. The AC Milan team has more quality and experience. But it seems that Newcastle is better in positioning. The presence of Rafa Leo and Chukwueze has made Newcastle to be more calm.
I am also optimistic that Almiron and the likes of Wilson with fresh energy can make the difference for Newcastle. But be it as it may, a draw is a good result for Newcastle in this match tonight.
Right now, we are in 70th minute of the game with score is still 0 - 0 and things are looking not good for having any goal in this game because Newcastle United which is having this event after two decades giving their best with inexperienced coach Howie AC Milan is completely failed to break this deadlock even they are much superior in all ways, but Newcastle United is surely giving their best which is positive for them and their team as well.

We have the good number of changes in last few minutes from the both sides but AC Milan which is having one of the worst defeat few days back in Milan derby still lack of confidence and fail to finding any good chance for taking lead into this match against new English club.

Its first half between Milan and Newcastle,and the scoreline is still 0-0 draw,which will see so many person's being surprised how Newcastle has held Milan down to a nil nil draw. So many persons predicted that Milan will be able to win Newcastle,but the highest I can see Milan get here is a draw, else, Newcastle Will win them 1-0 and as we all know how Newcastle's defence is,that it is very solid,and for any team to break that defence,they must work extra hard to be able break it and win them.
I will be happy if Newcastle can get their first win in the competition by winning Milan that everybody is expecting to win.There are good players there who can make the difference tonight,and giving them a winning goal.I'm supporting Newcastle.
Milan hit a lot of shots, but Newcastle are showing real English football. I don't know if they can hold their defence for the rest of the game or even win, but I think Milan deserve to win more. Although it wouldn't be surprising if the game ends in a draw.

After waiting a long time, Newcastle finally managed to qualify for the Champions League, but Newcastle journey was not as easy as imagined because they joined the Hell group. Two places will be contested by AC Milan, PSG, Dortmund and Newcastle. The strength of the three teams that are Newcastle competitors cannot be underestimated, they are teams that are challengers in the Domestic League. Newcastle, which is unable to maintain its good performance like last season, will find it very difficult to compete with these three teams. There is very little chance of Newcastle qualifying for the round of 16 if its performance is still unstable.

All teams will compete for 2 tickets to the round of 16, while one of them will compete for 1 ticket to the European League. This season, Newcastle doesn't seem to have much hope in the Champions League considering their performance in the league is not good. So the probability of winning and the possibility of them qualifying for the next round will certainly be lower than the other 3 teams.

Today Newcastle and Milan will play their first match for the 2023/2024 Champions League season, but I believe Milan will be able to win maximum points in this match compared to Newcastle. Even though Milan actually suffered a humiliating defeat in the derby match, I am sure they can be favored at home. The probabilities of both teams are the same, but I think Milan can be expected to do better because of their experience.
I would guess that league and champions league are different roads and the results may not be the same. I do not expect them to get a win neither to be fair, but I think it is still something that would be important nonetheless. We may see them lose this one out, but I feel like it is going to be tough to hold them at UCL if teams are not careful, it could lead to something that would be a bit more troublesome and should be important to realize it is not going to be that much of an easy thing.

I believe that we are going to end up with a result that would be a bit more careful and should lead to something that will benefit everyone a lot more carefully, it is definitely an issue that should not be like Newcastle is bad at league, so will be bad here too.
