On Tuesday evening, eight matches of the second round of the E-G groups of the UEFA Champions League were played.
An intriguing clash took place at the "Signal Iduna Park" stadium, where Dortmund's "Borussia" hosted Madrid's "Real". The "Yellow Blacks" found themselves in a difficult situation - suffered their second consecutive defeat, while Cristiano Ronaldo marked his jubilee match with a brace.
The match was started much more actively by the Real players, who did not hesitate to break through - Gareth Bale scored a wonderful goal with one touch after a brilliant pass from Dani Carvajal.
Later, after a missed goal, "Borussia" activated their forces in attack and spent more time with the ball.
However, no more goals were scored in the first half, so the battle moved into the next 45 minutes.
It also started unsuccessfully for the BVB team - Cristiano Ronaldo marked his jubilee 150th Champions League match with a goal in the 50th minute.
However, "Borussia" soon found an answer - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored to reduce the deficit after a sharp pass from Gonzalo Castro.
Over the remaining time, "Borussia" tried to fight for at least a draw, but in the 79th minute Cristiano Ronaldo sealed the deal in this clash, and "Real" celebrated their first victory in Dortmund in the history of matches between these two teams.
Other Group E matches ended with a victory for London's "Tottenham" against Nicosia's APOEL. Harry Kane was the biggest star of the match - scoring all three goals.
Other matches ended with victories for the clubs "Manchester City", "Besiktas", "Napoli", "Sevilla", and "Porto".
For the second time in a row, "Liverpool" played a draw, failing to beat Moscow's "Spartak" in an away game.
