• Real’s Rüdiger scores late equaliser in Warsaw for holders
• Jude Bellingham scores again for Borussia Dortmund

Shakhtar Donetsk were denied a memorable win over Real Madrid as Antonio Rüdiger scored a stoppage-time equaliser in their Champions League Group F match in Warsaw, while Juventus crashed to their third group defeat as they lost 2-0 away to Maccabi Haifa.

Oleksandr Zubkov headed Shakhtar, beaten 2-1 by Real in Spain last week, in front at the start of the second half. That had looked to be enough for the Ukrainians to secure a hard-earned victory, but former Chelsea defender Rüdiger headed in a dramatic equaliser in the fifth minute of added time. Real Madrid sit top of the table, now four points ahead of RB Leipzig, who won 2-0 at Celtic.
