AC Milan stun Real Madrid in the Champions League at the Santiago Bernabeu with Malick Thiaw, Alvaro Morata and Tijjani Reijnders goals sealing a 3-1 win.

AC Milan have sprung a huge surprise in the Champions League, beating Real Madrid 3-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu this evening.

In Real's first outing since the 4-0 humbling here against Barcelona, Carlo Ancelotti's men made the worst possible start, falling behind inside a quarter of an hour through Malick Thiaw's header.

Vinicius Junior's penalty midway through the first half looked like it would kickstart another Los Blancos comeback, but the home crowd were stunned when former Real striker Alvaro Morata put the Rossoneri back in front.

There was further shock for the 83,000-capacity crowd, as Tijjani Reijnders finished off a fine Milan move to double the visitor's lead with just under 20 minutes remaining.

Milan could have had more as Rafael Leao was denied brilliantly by Andriy Lunin and also struck the post from a corner, while Kylian Mbappe was guilty of passing up a golden opportunity at the other end.

Antonio Rudiger thought he had halved the arrears with eight minutes remaining when he fired home in the aftermath of a set piece, but following a lengthy VAR review, the goal was chalked off for offside.

Real kept the pressure on, but Paulo Fonseca's side were able to deal with it relatively comfortably, as Mike Maignan made a few fine saves during six minutes of injury time.

The home side were booed and whistled on the half-time whistle, and those jeers intensified tenfold when the final whistle was sounded by referee Slavko Vincic, as Real suffer a second straight home defeat.

An excellent performance will ease the pressure on Fonseca at Milan, who have moved level on points with Real in the 36-team standings, sitting just one place below on goal difference.


REAL MADRID VS. AC MILAN HIGHLIGHTS

Thiaw goal vs. Real Madrid (12th min, Real Madrid 0-1 AC Milan)

Another awful start for Real as they go behind for the third straight game, with Christian Pulisic's in-swinging corner met by Thiaw, who got in between Eder Militao and Aurelien Tchouameni to head the visitors in front.

Vini Jr penalty vs. AC Milan (23rd min, Real Madrid 1-1 AC Milan)

Real are back in business, as Vini Jr is fouled in the area by Emerson Royal, and the Real Madrid man dusted himself down to nonchalantly dink his penalty down the middle beyond Maignan in the Milan goal.

Morata goal vs. Real Madrid (39th min, Real Madrid 1-2 AC Milan)

Alarm bells ringing again! Milan are back in front and it is Real Madrid old boy Morata who has pounced first for a simple tap in after Lunin could not hold onto Rafael Leao's snapshot after good work once again from Pulisic.

Reijnders goal vs. Real Madrid (73rd min, Real Madrid 1-3 AC Milan)

The Bernabeu can barely believe it! Milan go 3-1 up as excellent footwork from Reijnders sees him breeze away from Militao and Eduardo Camavinga, before a smart one-two with Leao leaves him one-on-one with Lunin and the Dutchman makes no mistake in front of goal.


MAN OF THE MATCH - RAFAEL LEAO

There were many candidates in the Milan ranks for this gong, as Pulisic and Reijnders were phenomenal, but it has to go Leao, who once again showed that he is utterly unstoppable on his day, and gave Lucas Vazquez a torrid night at right-back for the hosts.

The Rossoneri number 10 played a big role in the second goal, and it was his fine footwork and vision that created the third, as Leao was also a constant threat on the counter against a Real Madrid defence that were run ragged all evening.
