Real Madrid Stunned at Home: AC Milan Clinches 3-1 Champions League Victory

Alvaro Morata haunts former club as Milan overpowers Madrid with resilient display at the Bernabeu

Real Madrid faced a surprising 3-1 home defeat to AC Milan in their latest UEFA Champions League match, marking Los Blancos’ second loss of the group stage. The Italian side, led by standout performances from Alvaro Morata, Malick Thiaw, and Tijjani Reijnders, secured a crucial three points in an unforgettable night at the Bernabeu.

The match started with Madrid on the back foot as Milan struck first. Thiaw found space between Aurelien Tchouameni and Eder Militao, heading in his first goal for Milan and giving his team an early lead. However, Madrid responded quickly. Vinicius Junior won a penalty after Emerson Royal’s misstep and confidently converted from the spot, opting to take the kick himself and sending the ball down the middle.

But the evening’s drama was far from over. Just before halftime, former Madrid forward Morata made his presence felt. After Rafael Leao’s shot was parried by Andriy Lunin, Morata seized the rebound and slotted it in, marking his seventh career goal against his old team and putting Milan back in front.

In the second half, Milan extended their lead through a powerful strike from Reijnders, silencing the home crowd as the visitors took a two-goal advantage. Despite Madrid’s relentless attempts to fight back, Milan’s defense held strong, securing a memorable victory for Paulo Fonseca’s squad and dealing Madrid another setback in their Champions League campaign.
