Lights out for Real Madrid at home to AC Milan last night in the Champions League

Vinicius Paixao Jr’s panenka penalty finish restored order in the 23rd minute cancelling out Malik Thiaw’s opener for the Rosonieri’s in the 11th minute.

AC Milan didn’t rest on the oars as they amplified their final third threats by creating appreciable goal scoring opportunities and against the run of play Paulo Fonseca’s boys retook the lead through former Real Madrid attacker Alvaro Morata who made his giant final third presence known as he tapped home past Andriy Lunin after Raphael Leao’s earlier strike was partially saved by Andriy Lunin who stretched to try and save his side’s blushes.

Meanwhile,Real Madrid is the team Alvaro Morata has scored most against in his career with 7 goals in 13 games this show how good he’s upfront for his team and how they count on him to deliver the goods.

The second stanza was full of end to end action as Real Madrid put more players behind the ball in search of an equalizer however Los Blancos found AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan a tough customer to deal with. Antoni Rudiger thought he had trimmed down the scoreline however his joy was shortly lived as Slovenia’s referee Slavko Vincic chopped the goal off for offside after receiving definitive response from the VAR officials on duty.

Dutch midfielder, Tijani Rjeinders Jan Martinus fired home from close quarters through the legs of Andriy Lunin to put AC Milan 3-1 up benefiting from the magical work put up by the tormentor in chief Raphael Leao down the right flank.

There was a hush over the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu as supported of Real Madrid were shell shocked with the result on the scoreboard right on their own turf.
