He real Madrid lost the League Classic against Barcelona at the Bernabéu and also at the Merengue stadium they lost the European classic against Milan. The worst thing for the whites is not so much the defeat, which it is, but the poor image it left in both games. It was a team that generated many doubts, especially in defense and in attack, Vinicius and Mbappé It is not the forwards who make the difference. All of this was seen against Barça and was repeated against a Milan team that knew how to take advantage of White’s many weaknesses to attack the Bernabéu. A KO that leaves the whites on the brink of crisis, if not already immersed in it.
And that isl Real Madrid It came out well or more recognizable, with Bellingham on the left and acting closer to Vinicius and Mbappé and with Modric sharing the game. The idea was good, but from then on it worked… Lucas Vázquez’s gang continues to be a toll-free highway for rivals; Mbappé shoots the doll again and again; Vinicius decorates himself until he loses the ball; and defensively, the white team is a fair town. In short, all the ills already known about Ancelotti’s men and that were repeated against a Milan that is far from its best times, but with what it has, it was enough for it to get ahead on the scoreboard.
It was in the 12th minute when Thiaw He took advantage of Tchouaméni’s defensive passivity to head a corner kick into the net. 0-1 and the whites had to come back. That’s what they set about, with Bellingham closer to the area, being the first to pressure the release of the ball from a Milan that saw its defensive work collapse in the 23rd minute. It was for a penalty from Emerson to Vinicius which the Brazilian himself launched like Panenka to make the score 1-1. Real Madrid had countered the first Italian blow, but did not take advantage of the momentum of Vinicius’ tying goal to score again and Milan took advantage of that to score 1-2 in the 39th minute. Great shot by Leao which Lunin deflected with a good save. He looked for the rejection Morata who entered the Real Madrid area unopposed to collect the ball and score 1-2. Another tremendous white defensive mistake and the same against. Real Madrid tried to equalize before half-time, but they couldn’t and they reached the interval with the score at 1-2 and with whistles from the Merengue fans at their team.

Ancelotti He broke his schemes and made two changes after the break. He removed a whistled Tchouaméni so that Camavinga could enter and a blurred Valverde gave his place to Brahim. Two offensive changes that not only did not worry Milan, but they were closer to scoring 1-3 than Real Madrid was from 2-2. And every ball lost by those of Ancelotti sIt practically became a clear opportunity for the Italians. And there were several because Real Madrid, divided into two, did not play at all, the rush marked their football and from there, the haste, the errors and the visitors’ chances. Things were not looking good for Ancelotti’s men, who decided to remove Modric to bring in Ceballos. A change that did not change the game at all for the white team that saw Morata hit the post. Either Real Madrid was going to be epic or not only were they not going to win the game, but they were not even going to tie it. But given what we have seen, the merengue epic was neither present nor expected at the Bernabéu. And in case anyone was expecting it, Milan made it 1-3 in the 73rd minute. Leao’s umpteenth escape down the left, Lucas’s wing, to put the ball behind where Reijnders, completely alone, shot Lunin.
The white disaster was total and in case something else was missing from the real MadridRüdiger’s goal was disallowed in the 81st minute due to Rodrygo’s offside. Another blow for the Merengues’ hopes, if there were any still left. The local attempts ended in nothing and the match ended with an Italian party and a Madrid fight against the team. Ancelotti
