Shakhtar Donetsk 1-1 Real Madrid: Antonio Rudiger rescues point in 95th minute for Carlo Ancelotti's side

Real Madrid scrambled a late equaliser through Antonio Rudiger's 95th-minute header to take a point from their Champions League encounter with Shakhtar Donetsk in Warsaw. The visitors displayed a surprising lack of cutting edge in the first half, despite dominating possession.

Ad Anatoliy Trubin was the busier of the two keepers though, making a couple of straightforward saves from Karim Benzema, before finally being truly tested just before the break when tipping a Federico Valverde shot over the bar.

A frustrated Carlo Ancelotti immediately turned to his bench, bringing on Vinicius Junior and Luka Modric, who had been rested with the weekend’s Clasico clash with Barcelona in mind. But the hosts continued to dominate and nearly got a second after a stunning passing move, again involving Zubkov and ending in Lassina Traore hitting the bar.

Real threw on more attacking options and finally got their goal when Rudiger connected with Toni Kroos' cross, suffering what looked like a nasty head injury in the process.
