Real Madrid vs AC Milan player ratings: Kylian Mbappe has another Champions League night to forget as Lucas Vazquez and Los Blancos' terrible defense capitulate to the Christian Pulisic-inspired Rossoneri

Real Madrid's defensive weaknesses were once again highlighted as AC Milan's strong attack ended 3-1 against the Champions League holders in the Spanish capital.

Carlo Ancelotti's side fell victim to three well-earned goals and were never able to get anything going in the final third. Kylian Mbappe in particular looked frustrated as his partnership with Vinicius Jr. continued to hold up.

Milan enjoyed the better start and offered good value for money in their opening game. Christian Pulisic prepared the ball and provided an inch-perfect corner that Malick Thiaw headed home.

Madrid almost responded immediately and Mbappé charged towards goal, but Mike Maignan parried him with one of his nine saves on the night. However, Vinicius equalized in the 23rd minute when he converted from the penalty spot after Emerson Royal recklessly brought down his Brazilian compatriot in the penalty area. However, Milan scored again just before half-time when Alvaro Morata saved the ball from close range after Andriy Lunin parried a snap shot from Rafael Leao.

Madrid showed more attacking intent in the second half, but left themselves shockingly open on the counterattack, and Milan took advantage. Leao was at the center of the action, cheering on Lucas Vazquez before finding a wide-open Tijjani Reijnders for a 3-1 lead. Los Blancos may have fought their way back into the game when Antonio Rüdiger fired a fine shot into the bottom corner, but a narrow VAR decision saw his goal ruled out for offside.
