The home fans were still celebrating as Real Madrid threatened to run away with the game. Di Maria fired wide and Higuain went close with a header from a Marcelo cross.

It was not until the half hour that Milan showed signs of reacting and Casillas had to be at his best to save a free kick taken by Pirlo, before Seedorf fired over from inside the area when he should have hit the target.

However, Madrid found a second wind and ended the half the stronger of the two sides.

They began the second half on top as well, looking dangerous in attack and assured in defense. Although there were fewer chances, it looked clear that Milan was running out of steam and Pepe should have scored a third for the home side.

Casillas made a late save from Roninho, but it was too little too late for a Milan side that was clearly second best on the night.
