Last year's champions Real Madrid suffered an unprecedented blow in the UEFA Europa League match in the early hours of Wednesday morning (6). They lost to AC Milan by a score of 1-3 at home, and this loss made their value shrink to 100 million euros. Cao Yaweni made a series of mistakes in defense and became the scapegoat of this defeat. Following the defeat of Barcelona in the La Liga "Derby della Nacion", conceding 4 goals in a row, Real Madrid conceded another 3 goals in this game, and have conceded 17 goals in 16 matches throughout the season, and the leader of the team, Antonio Anciarotti, urgently needs to quickly plug these loopholes.

Despite Real Madrid's plethora of stars and a long break due to a rescheduled La Liga match against Valencia due to flooding, they were caught on the back foot in this match. The opening goal came just 12 minutes into the match when AC Milan wing Kirstian Pleszig took a corner kick and center forward Alexandre Magliotteo scored the opening goal. At that time, Cao Aveni was in charge of the defense of Mariteaux, but it led to the loss of the ball.

Real Madrid then equalized through a 12-yard penalty from Yunis Oszuliabo, but Cao Aveni then made a succession of mistakes that led to Real Madrid losing control at the back, and AC Milan immediately launched a counter-attack, which culminated in Ewalu Morada scoring for AC Milan again. Cao Aveni's performance triggered wild boos from Real Madrid fans, while coach Ancalotti's eyes widened. After the first half, he decisively replaced the French international.

However, Real Madrid improved in the second half, but AC Milan came out on top with a 3-1 victory. The Dutch international has been up and down in three consecutive matches, while AC Milan have won two consecutive UEFA Europa League matches.

After the game, the Spanish media were critical of Cao Yavanni, describing his performance as a disaster. Head coach Antsarotti also admitted that the team's defensive deficiencies: "Our defense is not stable enough, often out of balance, we must start from the foundation to solve this problem." At the same time, the Italian manager also pointed out the team's offensive inefficiency, "Galaxy Fleet" is not sharp offense, defense is not solid.
