Milan was reclaiming their long time away game with an added pinch of spice to it by presently taking off the reigning European champions: a splendid 3-1 victory against Real Madrid in the Champions League.
The result does too much for Milan, it leaves them at 18th in the table with 6 points in 4 games, equal with Madrid, but due to their goal difference, still behind them.
In the twelfth minute, Malick Thiaw headed into the lead with a solid header into the back of Andriy Lunin’s net from a precise Christian Pulisic corner kick.
But the joy of Milan was cut short by an unfortunate foul committed by Emerson Royal against Vinicius Junior in the box: 11 minutes later, the Brazilian stepped up and equalized from the penalty spot.
However, the side coached by Paulo Fonseca went into halftime ahead when the player, Alvaro Morata, formerly of Madrid, rounded off the action with a close-in goal after attacking Rafael Leao’s deflected strike.
For Milan’s third, Leao again infiltrated the center with a slaloming run before expertly pulling it back for Tijjani Reijnders, who crowned the milestone of the Rossoneri with an emphatic finish.
Data Debrief: Milan let the fireworks go in Bernabeu.
Losing their first two matches in the Champions League has mapped Milan against the potential prevailing challenges introduced: playing against Madrid at the grandest stage.
Assisted by Morata, he was deeply entrenched in haunting his former club again. The 27-year-old Spanish player scored against Real Madrid in all three encounters played in the UEFA Champions League, as well as scoring home and away against Real with Juventus during 2014-15.
Pulisic has also continued on superb form for Milan. His season goals tally has now reached 11, (seven goals, four assists).
Only Mateo Retegui (14) and Ademola Lookman (12) have contributed more than him among Serie A players.
Carlo Ancelotti is now on track to lose back-to-back home matches as Real Madrid manager; this is the first time he has been losing consecutively at home with any side since May 2021 with Everton.
