No Score at Halftime as Teams Prepare for New Season

Atlético Madrid, featuring Belgian midfielder Axel Witsel in the starting lineup, drew 0-0 with Juventus in their final preseason match on Sunday in Stockholm, Sweden. Both teams had chances to score, but neither could find the back of the net as they concluded their preparations for the upcoming season.

Key Moments

Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram both had excellent opportunities to break the deadlock for Atlético, but they failed to convert their chances. Juventus had their own chances, with Angel Di Maria coming close on several occasions. However, Atlético's defense held firm, and the match ended goalless.

The match also marked the return of Axel Witsel to Atlético's starting lineup after missing the previous match due to injury. The Belgian international played well and helped Atlético control the midfield against a strong Juventus side.

With the preseason now complete, Atlético will turn their attention to the upcoming La Liga season, which begins on August 15th. They will open their campaign at home against Getafe.
