Álvaro Morata stunned the Bernabéu as AC Milan took full advantage of Real Madrid's struggles. With just eight minutes remaining and Madrid trailing 3-1, there was a fleeting moment of hope when Antonio Rüdiger found the net, igniting thoughts of a dramatic comeback. However, that hope was quickly extinguished as the goal was disallowed for offside, leaving Milan to secure a well-deserved victory. Goals from Malick Thiaw, the outstanding Tijjani Reijnders, and Spain's captain Álvaro Morata sealed the win for Milan, marking a significant moment as it handed Madrid their first Champions League defeat at home since Chelsea triumphed 3-2 in April 2022. Despite that previous setback, Madrid had managed to rally and progress in the tournament. This time, however, there was no resurgence, no excitement, and no complaints from the players. The silence in the stadium reflected the reality of their performance, as Milan celebrated a crucial victory.
