Seven-times European champions AC Milan suffered a stunning 1-0 home defeat by FC Zurich in the Champions League on Wednesday, piling the pressure on coach Leonardo. There were no such problems for the other big guns as Real Madrid, helped by two more goals from Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United and Chelsea secured victories while Bayern Munich drew 0-0 at home with Juventus.
Milan won at Olympique Marseille in their group opener but have had a tough time domestically under new manager Leonardo with goals very hard to come by. It was the same story on Wednesday with a sparse San Siro crowd whistling derision at their side's blunt efforts. Their big names were shown up by the clever mid-air backheel of unmarked Finnish centre back Hannu Tihinen which put Swiss side Zurich on the way to a famous victory after 10 minutes.
Substitute Gianluca Zambrotta hit a post for Milan in stoppage time but an equaliser would have merely papered over the cracks from another poor display by the 2007 champions. Both Milan and Zurich have three points and Real Madrid top Group C on six after two more goals from red-hot Ronaldo helped them to a 3-0 home victory over Marseille. It took Real almost an hour to break through but they did so emphatically with three goals in six minutes.
Ronaldo opened the scoring and was awarded a fortunate penalty converted by Kaka before the Portuguese winger got the third to make it nine for the season since his move from Manchester United. His former club are managing alright without him, although the Premier League leaders had to come from behind to beat VfL Wolfsburg 2-1 at Old Trafford.
United, looking inventive around the box after a sluggish start, clinched victory 12 minutes from time with a crisp shot by midfielder Michael Carrick. United top Group B with six points. Wolfsburg have three, as do CSKA Moscow after their 2-1 home win over Besiktas. Chelsea produced a repeat of their first group game as a solitary goal by Nicolas Anelka was enough to win 1-0 at APOEL Nicosia. Porto bounced back well with a 2-0 home win over Atletico Madrid to leave the fancied Spaniards up against it with just a point after two games.
