Champions League: Juventus Fight Back To Draw Thriller, Mbappe Inspires Real Madrid
UEFA Champions League: Juventus struck late to draw an eight-goal thriller against Borussia Dortmund and a Kylian Mbappe double helped Real Madrid past Marseille as the league phase of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League kicked off.
Juventus and Borussia Dortmund shared the spoils after an eight-goal thriller in Turin that equalled the record for highest-scoring Champions League draw. Khephren Thuram and Lois Openda both went close for the hosts in the first half, before Karim Adeyemi’s 52nd-minute finish sparked the encounter into life.
Kenan Yıldız, Felix Nmecha and Dušan Vlahović all scored in a four-minute flurry, before Yan Couto's powerful finish made it 3-2 to Dortmund. The visitors looked to have sealed victory through Ramy Bensebaini's 85th-minute penalty, but Juventus rescued a draw in added time thanks to Dušan Vlahović's finish and a Lloyd Kelly header.
