Real Madrid Falls to AC Milan 3-1 in Champions League

Real Madrid suffered a surprising 3-1 home defeat against AC Milan in the Champions League, marking their second consecutive loss at the Bernabéu.

The defeat places Madrid 17th in the Champions League group standings, underscoring their defensive issues as noted by coach Carlo Ancelotti.
