MILAN, April 26 (Reuters) - AC ⁠Milan and Juventus played out a 0-0 draw at ⁠the San Siro on Sunday, a second stalemate ‌between the sides in Serie A this season, with both clubs on course for a place in next season's Champions League.

Inter lead the standings on ​79 points, 10 ahead of Napoli with ⁠Milan a further two ⁠points back in third on 67. Juve hold the all-important fourth ⁠spot ‌with 64 points, three ahead of Como and AS Roma with four rounds remaining.

There were no goals ⁠when the sides met in Turin back in ​October, and Milan ‌boss Massimiliano Allegri again had to settle for a ⁠share of ​the spoils against the club where he won five league titles.

After an uneventful, cagey opening, former Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot fired the ⁠first shot on target late in ​the opening half, his powerful strike from the edge of the area parried away by Michele Di Gregorio.

Khephren Thuram had the ball ⁠in the net at the other end moments later but the goal was ruled out for offside, as the game finally sparked into life, and Milan keeper Mike Maignan denied ​Francisco Conceicao before the break.

Conceicao, a constant ⁠threat on the right wing, had another effort saved by ​Maignan shortly after the break before ‌Alexis Saelemaekers rattled the Juve crossbar ​but the game petered out to its almost inevitable goalless conclusion.
