Militao finishes match in pain against AEK

Militao completed 90 minutes in Real Madrid's 3-2 win at AEK Athens, six months after his serious April injury, though he reported significant pain post-match.

Éder Militao played the full match as Real Madrid defeated AEK Athens 3-2, marking his return to the starting lineup following a serious injury suffered in April. The Brazilian defender had been sidelined for six months.

After the match, Militao told Real Madrid TV: "I feel very good, although right now with a lot of pain. But happy to be able to do what I love so much after six months out and to play 90 minutes again." He praised the team's performance, highlighting the quality of goals scored and the collective spirit shown after falling behind early.

Militao also commented on Vinícius Júnior's current form, saying the winger remains committed despite a goal drought: "He's someone who deserves so much, and I think he'll come back strong."
