Worrying defensive gaps
In the meantime, Vinicius had equalized for Real with a panenka on a generous penalty (23rd, 1-1). The Madrilenians, apathetic, without ideas or aggressiveness on the ball carrier have not yet shown much, apart from their eternal defensive shortcomings on the counterattacks, smoothly led by the Milanese, with the vista in charge. and the fiery legs of Christian Pulisic. On one of them, Tijjani Reijnders, sparkling in the midfield, came to shelter Milan (73rd), who played in an armchair. And without a Lounine author of multiple classy saves (31st, 52nd, 88th), the bill could have been much heavier for Real, who had a goal from Antonio Rüdiger denied for an offside by Vinicius , after a missed exit from Maignan (81st). With this second victory, AC Milan catches up with the Madrilenians in the standings. The Merengues are worrying at all levels.
