Real Madrid vs Viktoria Plzen LIVE: Champions League 2018-19 football as it happened

Real Madrid 2-1 Plzen
Uefa Champions League 2018/19
Venue: Santiago Bernabeu

Real Madrid beat Viktoria Plzen 2-1 in the group stage of the Champions League on Tuesday in a narrow victory that did little to ease the pressure on embattled coach Julen Lopetegui.

Karim Benzema and Marcelo scored a goal in each half for Madrid as the three-time defending European champions ended a five-match winless streak in all competitions, but Lopetegui's team struggled at times at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

Madrid have six points in Group G after three matches. Roma, who defeated CSKA Moscow 3-0 at home in the other group match, also have six points.

The new coach may yet have another chance to quieten his critics — maybe his last — in the "clasico" against Barcelona at Camp Nou Stadium in the Spanish league on Sunday.
