Only seven teams, including Juventus, have earned six points in the opening two Champions League games, while Milan are among those with two defeats and still zero points.
The Champions League Matchday 2 ended on Wednesday with Juventus and Atalanta beating RB Leipzig and Shakhtar Donetsk, respectively, and Bologna losing at Anfield against Liverpool.
On Tuesday, Inter had beaten Crvena Zvezda 4-0 at San Siro, while Milan lost 1-0 to defending Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen.
After the opening two rounds, Juventus are among the top sides in the Champions League table.
Only Borussia Dortmund, Brest, Benfica, Bayer, Liverpool and Aston Villa have achieved the same. Currently, the Bianconeri would be qualified for the Round of 16, but there are still six more games to go.
Inter and Atalanta have four points each and are currently in the knockout phase play-off places. Simone Inzaghi’s men have the same points and goal difference as Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, their opponents in Round 1.
Bologna and Milan, on the other hand, sit in the final part of the table. The Rossoblu have one point and Milan have none after two consecutive defeats, but both sides still have plenty of time to climb the table.
