Thiaw puts Milan ahead against Real Madrid

It was a quick start, with the game moving quickly from end to end, but the Merengues immediately struggled to cope with the Rossoneri initiatives, especially when they came from Rafael Leao and Theo Hernandez.

Finally, Thiaw took advantage of a perfect corner kick from Pulisic to pounce with perfect timing to put Paulo Fonseca’s side ahead after just 12 minutes.

However, Vinicius Junior equalized from the penalty spot soon after.
