Real Madrid slipped to their second loss in the Champions League, but the manner of the defeat is more concerning for Carlo Ancelotti.
lost their second consecutive home game in all competitions, falling 3-1 to Italian side Milan in Matchday 4 of the Champions League. The loss means they have just two wins from four in the league phase of the competition, with Liverpool away to come next.
The loss is an issue, but the team's performance is more concerning. Milan worked hard and played with an identity, while Real Madrid looked like a team of individuals who sometimes lacked desire. Los Blancos need to find something quickly to turn the season around.The three Milan goals all came from poor Real Madrid play. The first came from a corner, headed in by German defender Malick Thiaw after poor marking from Aurelien Tchouameni.
The Borussia Dortmund half-time team talk from Carlo Ancelotti didn't work this time as Real Madrid's defensive struggles and lack of coherence up top continued. Milan sealed the win in the 73rd minute when Lucas Vazquez's poor defending let Leao get past him down the left to cut a ball back for Tijani Reijnders to smash the ball in from close range. Real Madrid tried to go forward to create another Champions League comeback but could only create half-chances. Antonio Rudiger did have the ball in the net in the 81st minute but was disallowed for an offside in the build-up, stopping short a mad last 10 minutes.
