Real Madrid thrashed Milan 5-1 in New York yesterday, ending Massimiliano Allegri’s winning streak in pre-season.
The Rossoneri had won their previous three matches in preparation for the new season, but in facing Jose Mourinho’s Spanish champions at the Yankee Stadium in New York, were hit for five.
Real took the lead through Angel Di Maria before Robinho soon drew the Italians level with a neat interchange with Antonio Nocerino and Antonio Cassano.
However, after that it was a game influenced first by Cristiano Ronaldo and then by Milan transfer target Ricky Kaka. Ronaldo scored two himself before receiving a standing ovation, whilst Kaka, in just under half an hour as a second-half substitute, set up Real’s final two goals.
