Milan triumphs at the Bernabeu: a historic victory against Real Madrid
AC Milan rewrote history with a stunning performance, annihilating Real Madrid with a convincing 3-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu. In a match that surprised pundits and fans alike, the Rossoneri proved to be a fearsome team, led by a Rafael Leao in great form, who was instrumental in all three goals.
Winning strategy and defensive solidity
Coach Paulo Fonseca’s strategy paid off. By fielding five defenders, Milan put Real Madrid in difficulty from the first minutes. The Rossoneri defense proved impenetrable, while the attack was able to take advantage of the opportunities created.
In less than ten minutes, Milan took the lead thanks to a header from Thiaw, which sent Carlo Ancelotti’s team into crisis. The reaction of the blancos was not long in coming, with Kylian Mbappé who tried to equalise but clashed with the goalkeeper Mike Maignan, author of an excellent save.
Despite the 1-1 achieved on penalty by Vinicius Jr., Milan did not let themselves be overwhelmed. On the contrary, they regained control of the match and found the net again. A choral action culminating in a tap-in by Alvaro Morata put the Rossoneri back in front, confirming their superiority.
A Rossoneri domination that makes the blancos tremble
In the second half, Milan continued to dominate. Fonseca’s men maintained a high intensity and showed impressive solidity. Despite some errors in the build-up phase, such as those by Christian Pulisic, the team did not lose its cohesion.
A new burst of energy from Leao allowed Reijnders to score the third goal for Milan. At this point, Real Madrid seemed to have lost their way. Even when Antonio Rudiger found the net for a possible 3-2, the intervention of VAR disallowed the goal for offside.
The match ended with moments of tension but also moments of great joy for the Rossoneri. Maignan saved his goal on several occasions, contributing to a victory that lays the foundation for a promising future.
Milan’s success at the Bernabeu not only marks a rebirth for the Rossoneri team after difficult years, but also represents a clear message: when they play as a team, they can compete against anyone. With this performance, the Rossoneri look to the future with renewed confidence and high ambitions in the European football scene.
