You don’t need an introduction. Let’s get right to the history.
Real Madrid 1-2 Sheriff Tiraspol
Forget the deputy, Real Madrid forgot the sheriff.
Result of the year, result of the decade, result of the... history of the sport?
Sheriff Tiraspol, fresh off beating Shakhtar Donetsk, wasn’t worried when it tossed away a surprise lead at the Bernabeu.
Cristiano assisted both goals in the Shakhtar win and assisted Jasurbek Yakhshiboev’s 25th-minute opener before Adama Traore (another Adama Traore, not the Wolves star) buried a stunning 89th-minute winner.
Karim Benzema’s 65th-minute penalty in-between was Real’s only goal.

Porto 1-5 Liverpool -- THREE THINGS WE LEARNED

Shakhtar Donetsk 0-0 Inter Milan
There were 23 shots in Ukraine, but only three saves required in a disappointing affair.
