Spanish giants Real Madrid have battled it out to a 3-all draw with Poland’s Legia Warszawa in an enthralling action-packed match at the Polish Army Stadium.


The Galacticos just couldn’t have asked for a better start on Wednesday as they managed to take the lead after just 1 minute through their Welsh star player Gareth Bale who hammered a sensational volley into the top corner from just over 20 yards out, making it 1-0.

Karim Benzema then doubled Real’s advantage in the 35th minute by slotting the ball into the bottom right hand corner of the net to make it 2-0.

But, the hosts managed to pull 1 back 5 minutes later when Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe rifled the ball past the keeper from 20 yards out.

The Polish side increased the pressure after the restart and surprisingly leveled the match at 2 apiece on Miroslav Radovic’s powerful strike.

The home side then went ahead for the first time in the 83rd minute when Thibault Moulin sent a stunning first-time strike off the near post, making it 3-2.

But, their joy was short-lived as Mateo Kovacic equalized 2 minutes later to grab a point for the visitors. The draw means that Los Blancos are now 2 points behind Group F leaders Borussia Dortmund. Meanwhile, Legia can no longer progress, but still harbor hope of a Europa League spot.
