Real Madrid vs CSKA Moscow
Champions League 2018-19
Venue: Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid
CSKA Moscow defeated Real Madrid 3-0 for their second straight win over the defending Champions League holders, but it still wasn't enough to earn the Russians a spot in the round of 32 of the Europa League.
Real Madrid rested most of their regular starters after already clinching the group win, while CSKA had no chance of making it to the knockout stage. The Russians were fighting for third place in Group G with Viktoria Plzen, which defeated Roma 2-1 to finish in front. CSKA need to better Plzen's result in the Czech Republic.
CKSA still earned a memorable win at the Bernabeu with goals from Fedor Chalov and Georgi Schennikov late in the first half, before Arnor Sigurdsson added another in the second.
Real left the field jeered by their fans, with many leaving after the Russians scored the third goal.
