AC Milan were held to a goalless draw against Sampdoria, as Zlatan Ibrahimovic made a Milan come back at San Siro after seven years and seven months since he last played for Milan.
The 38-year-old Swedish striker, who helped Milan win Serie A in 2010-11 and has signed a six-month deal, replaced 24-year-old Krzysztof Piatek after 55 minutes.
Ibrahimovic had two headers but one was cleared off the line and the other was saved by Emil Audero. The draw today, leaves Milan 12th place in Serie-A table, four places ahead of Sampdoria which is at 16th place.

Sampdoria had chances to win the game but Manolo Gabbiadini shot wide from the edge of the penalty box after he had taken the ball around goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The visitors thought they had opened the scoring account during the first half when Jakub Jankto put the ball into the back of the net but goal was ruled out because of offside.
Ibrahimovic has scored 122 Serie A goals for Inter Milan, Juventus and AC Milan and won six Serie A titles, although two successes at Juventus were subsequently removed by the Calciopoli scandal.
