Real Madrid continue their 'descent into hell'. The Merengue team received AC Milan at the Santiago Bernabéu in the duel corresponding to the fourth day of the 2024-2025 Champions League and signed their second consecutive embarrassment. After conceding 4 goals against Barça, the 'rossoneri' gave them another 3 goals to confirm the catastrophic moment that is being experienced in the capital.

Carlo Ancelotti's men were tremendously inferior to their rival from the first minute. The Milanese knew how to stand up to the whites and took the lead on the scoreboard thanks to a header from Thiaw in the 12th minute. The referee gave a penalty to the home team, who equalised with the actions at the feet of Vinicius, but Álvaro Morata put some distance between them with the 'law of the ex' and sent the Merengues to the locker room amid the whistles of their fans.

Reijnders sealed Madrid's embarrassment

After the break, Paulo Fonseca's men maintained the same tone as in the first 45 minutes against a Madrid that had no response, with Mbappé missing and Bellingham continuing to prove that he is a 'one season wonder'. Tijjani Reijnders put the final nail in the coffin in the 73rd minute and the VAR did justice by annulling a goal by Rüdiger due to Kylian's previous offside.

In this way, the Madrid team is in a terrible moment and Ancelotti sees his future at the club hanging by a thread as he has not found the definitive key to make the team work. With this defeat, Los Blancos drop to 17th place in the table with just 6 points and the Champions League becomes more complicated, as they will soon have to face Liverpool, Atalanta and RB Salzburg. The drama at the Bernabéu is total.
