Real Madrid’s Champions League Fortress falls to AC Milan in stunning Defeat

In a shocking turn of events at the Santiago Bernabéu, Real Madrid’s Champions League campaign hit an unexpected roadblock as AC Milan secured a convincing 3-1 victory on matchday 4. The Spanish giants, known for their European pedigree, found themselves outplayed by a determined Rossoneri side.

 

The Italian visitors wasted no time asserting their dominance, with Malick Thiaw breaking the deadlock early in the first quarter-hour.

 

While Vinicius Jr.’s penalty briefly restored parity and calmed the nervous Bernabéu crowd, it proved to be merely a temporary reprieve.

 

Alvaro Morata, a former Madrid player, came back to haunt his old club by putting Milan ahead in the 39th minute.

 

Any hopes of another famous Real Madrid comeback were definitively crushed when Tijjani Reijnders, assisted by the dynamic Rafael Leão, added a third goal in the 73rd minute.

 

In a notable duel between French internationals, goalkeeper Mike Maignan emerged victorious against his national teammate Kylian Mbappé, preventing Madrid from mounting the kind of comeback they had recently achieved against Borussia Dortmund (5-2).
