Real Madrid Thrashed 5-0 by AC Milan in Pre-Season Clash

Los Blancos Suffer Embarrassing Defeat in First Match Under New Manager

Carlo Ancelotti's side was completely outplayed by a dominant AC Milan team at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.

Real Madrid's pre-season preparations got off to a disastrous start as they were thrashed 5-0 by AC Milan in a friendly match in Turin. Carlo Ancelotti's side was completely outplayed by a dominant Milan team, who took the lead through Olivier Giroud in the 16th minute.

The Rossoneri doubled their advantage just four minutes later through Brahim Diaz, and they continued to pile on the pressure in the second half. Ante Rebic made it 3-0 in the 55th minute, and Divock Origi added a fourth just two minutes later.

The rout was completed by Rafael Leao in the 89th minute, as Real Madrid suffered their heaviest defeat in pre-season since 2009. The result will be a major concern for Ancelotti, who is under pressure to deliver success this season after returning to the club following a successful spell at Everton.

Milan's Dominance

AC Milan were in complete control of the match from start to finish. They were better organized, more clinical in front of goal, and they dominated possession throughout the match.

Real Madrid, in contrast, were poor in all areas of the pitch. They were slow to react to Milan's pressing, they were sloppy in possession, and they looked vulnerable at the back.

Ancelotti's Concerns

The result will be a major concern for Ancelotti, who has a lot of work to do before the start of the new season. Real Madrid have a number of new signings, and they need time to gel as a team.

Ancelotti will also need to find a way to improve his team's defense, which looked very shaky against Milan. The Italian coach has a lot of experience, but he will need to find a way to turn things around quickly if he wants to avoid a difficult start to the season.
