Christian Pulisic hailed AC Milan's victory at the home of reigning Champions League champions Real Madrid as a "very special night" as the American star helped the Italian side to a memorable 3-1 win at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday.


The visitors took the lead in the 12th minute after Malik Thiaw headed in a Pulisic corner, before goals from Alvaro Morata and Tijani Reinders secured Milan's winning ways.


"It was an amazing result for us," Pulisic told CBS Sports. "I mean, it's certainly not easy to come here and play because of their history in the Champions League.


"It's tough to come here and play, so for us to have that performance and win the game, it's obviously a very special night for us. ”


Christian Pulisic used his superb footwork to assist Malik Thiaw for the first goal of the match, which was also the first goal of the match in Milan's victory over Real Madrid.


Vinicius Junior equalized for Real Madrid from the penalty spot after being tripped in the 23rd minute.


But Pulisic was instrumental again and Milan took the lead again. His pass into the penalty area found Rafael Leao, whose shot was saved by Andre Lunin, but Morata grabbed the rebound and restored the visitors' lead against his former club.


Morata had already received a hostile reception from the home fans, who clearly remembered the goal he scored to help Juventus enter the 2015 season at the expense of the team 2018 final.

Reijnders scored Milan's third goal, which made the home fans express their dissatisfaction at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. The team's midfielders and defenders performed poorly. Real Madrid, which was unbeaten almost all season last season, has now suffered two consecutive defeats, scoring only one goal in two games and conceding seven goals. Their performance is disappointing.


It is worth mentioning that this is Milan's first victory over Madrid in 15 years, and the first time since October 2021 that last year's champions have lost consecutively. Milan is now in 18th place with 6 points, having played four of the eight games in the new 36-team Champions League stage, which is enough to enter the quarter-final play-offs.


However, Serie A has had a difficult start this season, and Milan is ranked seventh before traveling to Cagliari on Saturday. They can celebrate this hard-earned victory briefly and then go back to work-but beating Cagliari should not be difficult for Milan, and they are expected to achieve three consecutive wins in all competitions.
