AC Milan Defeats Brugge in Champions League

Christian Pulisic scored directly from a corner kick, known as an 'Olimpico', leading AC Milan to a 3-1 victory over Club Brugge in their Champions League match, marking their first win in the new competition format. After a disappointing start to their Champions League campaign, Milan bounced back, with Tijjani Reijnders scoring twice following Brugge's equalizer. Brugge was forced to play with ten men after Raphael Onyedika's red card in the 40th minute. In a notable debut, 16-year-old Francesco Camarda became the youngest Italian to play in the Champions League, though his goal was disallowed for offside. Meanwhile, Monaco continued their unbeaten run with a 5-1 victory against Red Star Belgrade. The matchday also featured Real Madrid facing Borussia Dortmund later in the evening.
