Los Blancos’ established early control in the game, but seemed to lack the finishing touch.

But only 13 minutes later the hosts drew the game level through right-back Aitor Ruibal.
The 14-time Champions League winners tried to restore their lead, but were unable to create something dangerous in front of goal, despite their superior possession.
