However, Real did not take much time to return to the match. Vinny made Real equal, forgetting the sadness of not getting the Ballon d'Or. Real equalized with Vinny's penalty goal.

Real goalkeeper Andre Lunin blocked Rafael Liao's shot, but Alvaro Morata put the team ahead with a second attempt. In the 43rd minute, Mbappe got the ball and entered the Milan box with great speed.
