Zidane hoping to avoid Juventus

It was the Frenchman’s 50th Champions League goal, making him only the sixth player in history to reach that mark. He’s now level with Madrid legend Alfredo Di Stefano.

Earlier, a Karim Benzema double had put Real in control of the game. Keylor Navas obviously unhappy with his back four.

Cristiano Ronaldo: “The public is very demanding”. It’s just one of several opportunities that CR7 missed in the match. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has repeatedly said it is his dream to complete a move to the European champions, made it 2-1, before Marco Reus, in the 88 minute of the match, scored the equaliser, via a pass from Aubameyang. 2-2 is the final score as Dortmund escape with a point from the Bernabeu.

“The objective was to win the group”, Benzema admitted.

The Portugal worldwide is still two away from registering 100 European goals but has managed just a couple in the group stage, his lowest return since 2009 when he did not score until the knockout stages for Manchester United and his lowest group stage tally for Madrid. “They are first and we are second”.

“I’m very proud of the players, their hard work, the things they did”.

“It’s normal that he wants to play at Real Madrid one day, any player with his talent would like to play at one of the best teams in the world”, Tuchel said to the assembled media, according to AS.

“We had that game in our hands, but that’s football”.

“Zizou has that kind of magic that dazzles you”, Ramos said. Last season, Madrid’s victory was downplayed by critics because of the apparent “weakness” of the opponents on the way to the final.

That has allowed them to open a healthy lead over fierce rivals Barca, but Zidane was quick to point out that the league can not be won as early as December.

Porto is second in the group, behind already qualified Leicester.

In a recent pre-match conference for Real Madrid’s clash against Borussia Dortmund in Champions League, Zinedine Zidane admits that James Rodriguez isn’t happy with his lack of playing time in the team.

Defender Daniele Rugani added another for Juventus with a header from a corner taken by Miralem Pjanic. Mario Lemina controls the ball and weaves into the front of the area, ending up with Gonzalo Higuain slotting in the loose ball. Both efforts showed his predatory instincts as he found himself in the right position at the right time to bring up his half-century of competition goals.

“Real had some big chances in the second half, but we hoped for a lucky punch and we got it”, said Reus.

In Group E, Bayer Leverkusen eased past Monaco 3-0 but still finished second in the group with 10 points to 11 for the French side.
