Real Madrid suffered against 'Gladbach, a team with extreme speed in attack and who demonstrated it in a steal in their rival's half. Mistakes are paid for in the Champions League.
An error in the Madrid midfield preceded the 1-0 in Germany. Kroos lost the ball, Plea recovered it up against Sergio Ramos, and after a good one-two, played a fantastic pass to Thuram.
In few touches, Courtois saw the ball go into his net. Impeccable from 'Gladbach, who put Zidane's men in trouble with high pressing at certain times.
Real Madrid weren't playing bad, but the son of ex-Barcelona player Lilian Thuram put the hosts in front and put Los Blancos on the ropes.
