AC Milan manager Paulo Fonseca has revealed how daunting it is to come up against Italian clubs as compared to European sides.

Fonseca's comments follow AC Milan's 3-1 triumph over Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Malick Thiaw opened the scoring for the visitors before Vinicius Junior levelled the game for Real Madrid from the spot.

However, Real Madrid's former player Alvaro Morata shot Milan ahead before Tijjani Reijnders sealed the points for the seven-time Champions League winners 15 minutes from the end.
