"AC Milan and Newcastle Draw 0-0: Analyzing Howe's Pressing Tactics, Milan's Missed Opportunities, and Tonali's Subdued Comeback"

Newcastle United held AC Milan to a 0-0 draw in their first Champions League match in 20 years. Despite being on the back foot in the first half, Newcastle weathered the Milan pressure and secured an invaluable point.

Newcastle's defensive solidity and cautious approach showed that they belong at this level. Milan's failure to finish their chances was evident, and their wastefulness was reflected in the expected goals (xG) figures. Sandro Tonali had a quiet return to San Siro, while Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah made an impact off the bench for Milan. Newcastle's 16-year-old goalkeeper Aidan Harris was named on the bench, providing him with a valuable experience.
