Real Madrid-Milan 1-3
REAL MADRID
Lunar 6.5: the best of his team, saving two goals already scored on Leão and Loftus-Cheek.
Lucas Vazquez 5: he is unable to stem Leão's excessive physical and technical power. Very difficult evening.
Rudiger 4,5: the most combative of the defense but that's not enough. Completely out of position on Reijnders' goal.
Military 4,5: leaves Thiaw undisturbed for the first goal. Disastrous.
Mendy 5: defends badly and attacks even worse. (From 29' st Garcia sv)
Valverde 5: he suffers, tremendously, against Reijnders and Fofana in terms of pace. (From 46' st Díaz 6: some interesting ideas, at least he tries.
Modric 6: the only one who has any ideas. As long as his body holds up, he remains Real Madrid's only source of play. (From the 18th st Ceballos 4.5: a bad foul on Morata and little else)
Tchouaméni 4: disconcerting performance from the French midfielder who has both the first and second Rossoneri goals on his conscience. (From 46' st Camavinga 6: definitely better than his teammate, recovers some interesting balls)
Bellingham 5,5: plays more as a midfielder than as an attacking midfielder. He sacrifices a lot but is completely lacking in the offensive phase. (From 29' Rodrygo s.v.)
Mbappé 4.5: where has the player who enchanted the world with his goals in important matches gone? Abusive under goal.
Vinicius 5: the only positive thing about his match was the penalty he scored. He protests continuously and thinks little about playing. Nervous.
All.Ancelotti 5: clearly loses the tactical match against Fonseca. His Real suffered a second heavy defeat at the Bernabeu after the 0-4 suffered by Barcelona.
MILAN
Maignan 8: defuses Mbappè in the first half, dons the super hero cape and flies to every ball with courage and personality. The save against Díaz in the 90th minute was monstrous.
Emerson Royal 6,5: naive about the penalty foul on Vinicius. The Brazilian does not lose his bearings and begins to attack with great intensity. He draws a perfect cross for Leão in the second half. Probably his best performance for the Rossoneri. (From 47' st Calabria sv)
Thiaw 7,5: he couldn't have chosen a better stadium to score his first goal with the Milan shirt in his 60th appearance. Defensively he is simply perfect.
Tomori 7: It's not every day you cancel an attack made up of Mbappe and Vinicius. He deserved a night like this.
Theo Hernandez 6,5: extra motivation in front of his former audience. He immediately started off strong with a couple of shots of his own, half a mark less due to the error at the exit that led to Emerson's penalty foul.
Breath 7.5: it seems like we see 11 Youssouf on the pitch. He is practically everywhere, always recovers and plays with quality and intelligence. Five star purchase.
Reijnders 8: this is the match of his consecration. He draws football, scores a historic goal and never loses a ball. Top players
Moses 7,5: Fonseca's surprise move. Yunus is the protagonist of a fabulous performance in the two phases, confirming his great form.
Pulisic 7: draws a rainbow which Thiaw turns into the opening goal. Always into the game with intensity and quality. When the ball goes off for Real Madrid it's painful. (from 25' st. Loftus-Cheek 5.5: he has the ball at his feet to make it 1-4 but hits Lunin)
Leo 8: finally the real Leao. He keeps Real Madrid's defensive line in check, even when not in possession. A delightful assist for Reijnders, 50% of Morata's goals are thanks to him. Great response. (from 32' st Okafor sv)
Morata 8: scores his first goal in the Champions League with the Milan shirt, confirming that he has the killer instinct of a true striker. Total performance of the reigning European champion. (from the 25th minute Abraham 5.5: he entered the game poorly, losing a lot of balls)
All. Fonseca 8: Paulo's Mona Lisa. Excellently prepared match, Musah gets the move right.
