Real Madrid suffered a new defeat at their home stadium, the Santiago Bernabéu, this time against Milan, with a score of 3-1 in the fourth round of the Champions League.
The royal club entered this match after a heavy defeat from Barcelona in the 4-0 Clasico, and it was expected that the reaction to it would be completely different from what appeared against Milan.
Milan took the lead in the 12th minute through Thiao, then Vinicius Junior equalized from a penalty kick in the 23rd minute, before Alvaro Morata scored the second goal in the 39th minute.
Real Madrid conceded two or more goals in the first half in two consecutive home matches in the Champions League for the first time since a series of three matches between 2018 and 2019 (against CSKA Moscow, Ajax, and Brugge).
Renders ended Carlo Ancelotti’s team’s chances of a comeback with a third goal in the 73rd minute.
This is Real Madrid’s third loss this season in all competitions, knowing that Los Blancos only lost twice throughout last season, which explains the collapse of Kylian Mbappe’s teammates.
At the same time, this is the first time that Real Madrid has been defeated at the Santiago Bernabeu twice in a row since 2020.
Real Madrid conceded 7 goals in the last two matches at the Santiago Bernabeu, which reveals a real defensive crisis that Ancelotti’s team is experiencing despite the coach’s attempts to confirm otherwise.
For the first time since April 2023, Real Madrid has lost two consecutive matches, that is, in more than 500 days.
In fact, this defeat complicates Real Madrid’s position in the Champions League relatively, as it is the second for them after the defeat to Lille in the second round.
Real Madrid’s balance froze at six points in 17th place, and it is likely that the team will drop further when all matches of this round end on Wednesday.
