Sheriff Tiraspol produced one of the great Champions League shocks as the competition’s least experienced club upstaged 13-time European champions Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
Sebastien Thill snatched victory for the tournament debutants with a stunning final-minute strike.
Jasurbek Yakhshiboev’s first-half header had given the visitors the lead.
Karim Benzema equalised from the penalty spot after relentless Real pressure, but Thill had the last word.
