The match was highly anticipated as it marked Real Madrid’s first game since the Ballon d’Or ceremony, where Rodri won the award instead of Vinícius Júnior. In a packed Santiago Bernabéu, the fans booed the Champions League anthem in solidarity with the Brazilian forward.
When the match kicked off, it was a tight contest, with both teams carefully studying each other. The game began to shift in the 11th minute when Thiaw opened the scoring with a header from a corner kick. Needing a response, Real Madrid equalized 10 minutes later with a penalty from Vinícius Júnior.
After the equalizer, the game became more balanced until Morata put Milan back in the lead. In the second half, Milan dominated. With the advantage, the Italians overpowered Real Madrid, largely thanks to Rafael Leão. It was Leão’s assist that led to Reijnders’ goal midway through the second half.
In the final minutes, Rüdiger tried to spark a comeback for the hosts, but his goal was ruled out for offside. As a result, Carlo Ancelotti’s side ended a 15-match unbeaten streak at home in the Champions League and now sits in 17th place with only six points. The Italians, on the other hand, earned their second win of the competition and reached six points, moving up to 18th place, just behind Real Madrid. Lead the pack with BBscore football.
