🏆👉  What a wonderful day to achieve victory! On Tuesday, November 5, 2024, AC Milan faced off against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in the UEFA Champions League Matchday 4, and they came out on top. With a fantastic performance, Milan secured the essential three points, winning the match 1-3. Milan beat Madrid for first time in 15 years!

Malick Thiaw opened the scoring with a header, Vinícius Júnior brought it level with a penalty, and Álvaro Morata scored to give Milan the lead again just before halftime.  Coach Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid lost against one of his long-time favorites, Milan..

AC Milan got off to a great start in the 12th minute when Malick Thiaw found the back of the net with a close-range header after a corner kick given away by Éder Militão. It’s also a special moment for Thiaw as it marks his first goal for the team! What a double celebration!

Stats before the game:

Real Madrid has triumphed in five out of their seven home matches against Milan in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League, with one draw and one loss. Their most recent encounter ended in a 2-0 victory for Madrid in October 2010. On the other hand, Milan hasn’t secured a win in their last three UEFA Champions League clashes with Real Madrid, recording two draws and one loss since their 3-2 victory in October 2009, where Andrea Pirlo and Alexandre Pato were on the scoresheet.

Real Madrid have won 17 of their last 18 European games against Italian clubs, their only defeat coming at home to Juventus in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals in April 2018.
This will be the fifth time Carlo Ancelotti has faced Milan since he coached them between 2001 and 2009, and the first time in European competition. The four previous meetings have all been as Napoli manager between 2018 and 2019.  The Italian managing to beat his former club on just one occasion (D2 L1), a 3-2 home win in Serie A in August 2018.
Real Madrid are unbeaten in their last 15 home UEFA Champions League games (W12 D3), despite their longest run of six clean sheets at home in the competition since February 2013 (eight).
Milan have won just one of their last seven away games in the UEFA Champions League (D3 L3), against Newcastle United in last season’s group stage (2-1). In those seven games, Milan have scored just three goals, while failing to find the back of the net in five of them.
Since the start of the 2022/23 season, Vinícius Júnior has been directly involved in 25 goals in 25 UEFA Champions League appearances (16 goals and nine assists), more than any other player in that period. In the same period, no one has managed to provide nine assists.

Player Stats

Christian Pulisic has scored three goals in his last four games for Milan in the UEFA Champions League, as many as he scored in his previous 25 games in the competition. If he finds the net against Real Madrid, this Champions League season would already become his best ever in terms of goals (currently two).

Since scoring in each of his first four UEFA Champions League games for Real Madrid, Jude Bellingham has not found the net in any of his last 10 appearances in the competition. However, the Englishman has stood out for his defensive work this season, being the best among the Blancos in tackles (eight), duels won (20) and high-intensity pressures (169).

Luka Modric has made 98 starts for Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League so far. If he starts against Milan, he will surpass Toni Kroos (98) to become the club’s most-started midfielder in the history of the European Cup/Champions League.
