Carlo Ancelotti has admitted that his Real Madrid team “should be worried” after suffering a 3-1 loss to AC Milan in their Champions League match on Tuesday night. This defeat came on the heels of Los Blancos’ heavy 4-0 loss to Barcelona in the El Clásico, marking another difficult result for the Spanish giants.
The game at the Santiago Bernabéu saw Milan take the lead through a header from Malick Thiaw, and despite Vinícius Júnior equalizing with a penalty, Madrid struggled to maintain their momentum. Álvaro Morata restored Milan’s advantage with a goal before halftime, and Tijani Reijnders sealed the win with a fourth-quarter strike that left Madrid with little chance of recovery.
This defeat means Real Madrid has now lost two of their four Champions League matches this season, raising concerns about their form under Ancelotti. Reflecting on the team’s performance, the veteran coach expressed his worries in an interview with Movistar, acknowledging the team’s lack of cohesion. “We should be worried because the team isn’t playing well,” he said. “We have to be more solid, more compact. We’ve conceded a lot of goals,” Ancelotti added, pointing to the team’s defensive vulnerabilities as a major area of concern moving forward.
