Remarkably, the 3-0 victory for CSKA marked the second time this season that they had defeated Real Madrid in the group stage of the UCL.

The first of the pair came two months ago (seems more like eons) in Moscow, as they pulled off a hard-fought 1-0 victory in what was to be the beginning of the end for Lopetegui, as Real failed to score for the next eight hours.
The last team to get a home and away group stage victory over Real Madrid was Juventus a decade ago when they pulled off two wins over Los Blancos in Group H of the 2008/2009 UCL season.
Amauri and Del Piero were on hand to hand The Old Lady a 2-1 win at the Stadio Olimpico Turin, before the Juventus record goalscorer once more destroyed Real Madrid with a brace in a 2-0 second leg victory for Juve at the Bernabeu.
