Spanish Giants Real Madrid have been held to a 2-all draw by Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League at the Signal Iduna Park.

It only took 17 minutes for Los Bloncos to open the scoring on Tuesday through Portuguese Ace Cristiano Ronaldo who rifled home a low shot after being teed up beautifully by a back heel from Gareth Bale, making it 1-0.

But the host struck back 2 minutes from before break through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who took advantage of some poor goalkeeping from Keylor Navas to score his 7th goal of the season in all competitions.

The Galacticos, however, managed to snatch back their lead after the interval when Varian stabbed home from close range after Karim Benzema’s shot bounced back off the woodwork.

But Andre Schurrle leveled the match at 2 apiece late in the match and also sealed a point for the host when he blasted a shot in the top corner after some good work from substitute Christian Pulisic.

That’s while in a group H encounter, Italian giants Juventus registered a 4-0 victory over Ukraine’s Dinamo Zagreb to move to the top of their Champions League group.

24 minutes into the Tuesday match and the old ladies got ahead when Midfielder Pjanic scored with a delicate volley. Gonzalo Higuain the doubled his side’s lead 7 minutes later by firing a left-footed volley into the corner of the net.

But Juve didn’t stop there they went on to add another 2 more goals after half time through Paulo Dybala and Adrian Semper in the 57th and 85th minutes respectively to close out a comfortable 4-0 victory over Dinamo.
