Jude Bellingham scored his first goal since June as Real Madrid saw off a dogged Juventus to maintain their 100% record in this season's Champions League on Wednesday with a 1-0 victory at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The goal was created by Vinicius Jr, who in the 58th minute took on three Juventus players and made space to shoot. His attempt rebounded off the post for Bellingham to slot home his first goal of the season since returning from shoulder surgery.
Juve, who along with Ajax hold the record for the most wins against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in European Cup games, are winless since September 13 and have gone seven consecutive matches without victory in all competitions.
They have secured just two points from three Champions League games while Madrid have nine points.
Meanwhile, 17-year-old Lennart Karl was handed his first Champions League start for Bayyern Munich and made the most of it.
Within five minutes of kickoff against Club Brugge, Karl became Bayern's youngest Champions League goalscorer in style, breaking a record set by Jamal Musiala.
Karl's goal set Bayern on course for a 4-0 win featuring two other landmark goals.
Harry Kane scored his 20th of the season in all competitions with a tap-in off a Konrad Laimer cross, before Luis Díaz scored in the Champions League for Bayern for the first time since signing from Liverpool. Nicolas Jackson made it 4-0 on a rebound in the 79th minute.
Earlier, Athletic Bilbao ended Qarabag’s perfect record in the competition with a 3-1 win at the San Mames.
Galatasaray beat Bodo/Glimt 3-1, while Sporting Lisbon enjoyed a 2-1 win at home to Marseille.
Atalanta and Slavia Prague played out a 0-0 draw.
