Sports

The victory marks the second time AC Millan won at Santiago Bernabeu after that in the group stage of the 2009-10 Champions League campaign.

Current Champions League holder and Spanish football giants Real Madrid suffered another embarrassing defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu in the hands of AC Millan on Tuesday night, increasing its woes that began after the 4:0 defeat to Barcelona in El Clasico.

The visitors opened the scores in the eleventh minute following a corner conceded by Éder Militão in a brilliant header by Malick Thiaw in a very close-range goal post scrambling.

The home team equalized through an electrifying penalty by Vinícius Júnior that set fans at the Santiago Bernabeu on fire, which was quenched after another AC Millan goal by

 Tijjani Reijnders who shot from his left foot from the centre of the box.

Real’s new arrival, Kylian Mbappé failed to live up to his rating in the match, shooting without precision in apparent frustration of the night after the VAR cancelled a goal by Antonio Rüdiger.
