Real Madrid battled back from 2-0 down to draw Club Bruges on a different Champions League night to the champions.
2 eccentric goals from Emmanuel Dennis were weak again and almost undid zinedine Zidanes side.
The Nigerians initially arrived since he miscontrolled Percy Taus cross and to the net – originally disallowed for offside but awarded after a lengthy assistant referee delay.
Dennis stumbled to the box and chipped Courtois – that Alphonse Areola at half-time replaced – despite losing his footing.
Captain Sergio Ramos responded for Real in the second half with a header in Karim Benzemas cross, which was ruled out for offside but overturned by the VAR.
Toni Kroos spanned for Casemiro to head in the equaliser from the, Following Bruges captain Ruud Vormer was sent off for two reservations.
Actual – beaten 3-0 from Paris St-Germain in their opening match – remain bottom of Group A.
The very first spell as Real Madrid boss of zidane was that the stuff of legend. They won three Champions League names in charge in both and a half decades and then he left to the ultimate high.
But he was back, replacing Santiago Solari after their Bernabeu defeat.
The comeback against Bruges ensured it was not a third successive Champions League defeat along with a third European home loss in a row.
Theyve surrendered a couple of goals by half-time in their three home Champions League games. They had done two in their previous 124.
La Liga leaders Real created plenty of chances but fluffed their lines.
Bruges, that are top of the league, looked in control after Dennis targets – particularly his first, although he tried to control a cross but kicked at the ball into the internet.
It may have been before Actual fought through Casemiro and Ramos over if Areola not well preserved a opportunity to get a hat-trick game.
Captain Ramos was acting as a centre forward but Bruges stoppage-time replacement Siebe Schrijvers squandered a glorious chance when he screwed wide with his only signature.
In the last whistle, Bruges celebrated a point despite the hosts comeback while Real looked dejected.
Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane:The two aims that they scored were a joke – thats all I will say on that.
What occurred in the first half can occur to you. We seemed to take the 3 things from begin to finish which was impossible from the first half. We won the second half 2-0 and we all wind up taking a stage.
Im not stressed. We all know we must make and complete opportunities because in the first 10 minutes. If wed been a little more clinical, we could have experienced the opening goal.
We need to do that at home – go to kill the sport from minute one and push our rivals.
I dont wish to talk ill of a rival, however when we pressed such as we did in the second half, theyd have had no opportunity.
