Shakhtar Donetsk stun Real Madrid at Bernabeu with 3-2 win.

Goals from Viktor Korniienko, Solomon Manor, and an own-goal by Raphael Varane sprung the visitors to a 3-0 first-half lead.

Zinedine Zidane made seven changes to the side that lost to Cadiz CF on Saturday. Zidane was without Sergio Ramos who limped off their league loss match.

In the second half, the eleven-time Champions League winners turned up after the first half disaster.

Goals from Luka Modric and Junior Vinicius brought the Los Blancos back into the game. Vinicius scored within seconds of coming on as the side began the push for a third goal.

The visitors however defended deep and disciplined as they protected the one-goal cushion.

Madrid thought they had grabbed the equalizer deep into stoppage time when Federico Valverde slotted in a shot from Kroos’ corner kick. A VAR review would rule the goal out for offside as Vinicius was adjudged to have touched the ball before it went in.

Madrid travels to Nou Camp for the El Clasico on Saturday.
