Chelsea were behind in the seventh minute when Hannah Hampton attempted to claw away Caroline Weir’s shot but it went in off the far post.
Guro Reiten had a strike from outside the box tipped over the bar by Misa Rodriguez before going off injured.
Chelsea’s Catarina Macario made a dramatic entrance at half time, netting within 30 seconds but given offside, inches wide from Erin Cuthbert’s through ball, before being brought down in the box by Olga Carmona and converting the penalty in the 51st minute.
Three minutes later and Macario again put away a spot kick, Carmona penalised this time for handball.
Naomie Feller lashed a great chance well wide for Madrid, who also failed to find the target from three free kicks.
In the other Group B tie, Kayleigh van Dooren opened the scoring for FC Twente, Celtic then conceding two own goals before half time through goalkeeper Lisa Rodgers and Natalie Ross.
