Real Madrid suffered another disappointing loss, this time against AC Milan at the Santiago Bernabeu. Manager Carlo Ancelotti expressed his concern over the team’s performance, especially after back-to-back home defeats and only six points from four Champions League games.
The match saw Vinicius Junior scoring a penalty to level the game after Malick Thiaw opened the scoring for Milan. However, goals from Alvaro Morata and Tijjani Reijnders secured a well-deserved victory for the Italian side. This defeat comes on the heels of Madrid’s 4-0 loss to Barcelona in El Clasico, leaving them trailing by nine points in La Liga.
Ancelotti emphasized the need for his team to be more organized and compact on the pitch, acknowledging the defensive vulnerabilities that have led to conceding goals. The reigning European champions will need to address these issues quickly to improve their performance in both domestic and European competitions.
On the other hand, Milan, despite a mixed start to the season, put on an impressive display in Madrid according to their manager Paulo Fonseca. He praised the courage and fearlessness of his players, highlighting their deserving victory over the struggling Real Madrid side.
With Milan showing resilience and determination in their win, it is evident that they are capable of competing at a high level despite their current standing in Serie A. As for Real Madrid, the consecutive home losses and lackluster performances raise concerns about their ability to challenge for top honors this season. They will need to regroup and work on their defensive solidity to bounce back from this disappointing run of results.
