AC Milan Defeats Real Madrid 3-1 in Champions League

Real Madrid suffered a 3-1 defeat to AC Milan in the Champions League, marking their first home loss in the competition since April 2022. Malick Thiaw opened the scoring for Milan, followed by a penalty equalizer from Vinicius Junior, but Alvaro Morata restored Milan's lead before Tijjani Reijnders sealed the victory with a third goal. Madrid's defense has been under scrutiny, having conceded nine goals in their last three home matches, and their recent form shows only two wins in four Champions League matches this season. The loss follows a humiliating 4-0 defeat to Barcelona, intensifying pressure on coach Carlo Ancelotti. With this setback, Madrid finds themselves struggling in the group stage, currently sitting 17th out of 36 teams. The match was also marked by a moment of silence to honor victims of recent flooding in Spain.
