Cristiano Ronaldo scored the lone goal for the holders with his side already down by three.

The two-goal deficit marked Los Blancos’ biggest defeat in the European competition’s group stage since losing 2-0 against Juventus in November 2008.

It was also only the sixth time Ronaldo has scored while his team lost in a Champions League match.

Ronaldo, who played for Manchester United before joining Real Madrid in 2009, entered the night on a 17-match winning streak against Spurs.
