Real Madrid suffered a shock defeat in Moscow as they were beaten 1-0 by CSKA Moscow. The Russians edged Julen Lopetegui’s side thanks to a second minute goal from Croatian Nikolai Vlasic (from a Real defensive mistake), which proved to be the difference between the two sides at the final whistle. It was the first time in 30 Champions League games that Real had failed to score a goal, and a crowd of 71.811, better than than 69.251 Real had at the Bernabeu for the Roma fixture, and the third biggest attendance in the Champions League season so far , saw CSKA register a famous win.

It is also the first time in 12 years that Real have gone three consecutive games without scoring a goal (they were beaten 3-0 by Sevilla and drew 0-0 with Atleti before this fixture).

Real’s next game is away to Deportivo Alaves, who are surprisingly 6th in the league table, and are yet to lose a game at home this season.
