Carlo Ancelotti‘s side was dominated by rivals Barcelona (0-4) in the El Clasico at Bernabeu before being outclassed by the manager’s former club, AC Milan, despite Ballon d’Or runner-up Vinicius Jr scoring his 4th goal in 4 Champions League games this season.

Malick Thiaw and former Madrid striker Alvaro Morata scored in both halves to put Madrid deep in trouble with back-to-back home defeats.

The winner, I Rossoneri, is the first team to score three goals against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu twice in the European Cup/Champions League, having already done so in October 2009.

Madrid has been in a hot spot lately in all aspects. It was not just the defeats on the pitch; the La Liga giants lost the Ballon d’Or they expected Vini to earn, all before Man City Rodri claimed it.

It's been a 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 10 days for Real Madrid 🫠
