Champions League: Real Madrid Stuns Schalke, While Galatasaray Ties Chelsea

 

Fernando Torres' first-half strike (on the 9th minute) gave Chelsea a narrow Champions League advantage to take back to Stamford Bridge.

But the Turkish champions fought back the break and Aurelien Chedjou bundled home a corner to bring them level on 64th minute. Therefore, it's 1 - 1, and nothing is clear in this face-off.

The attacking Blancos trio - Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema - were on fire at the Veltins Arena and clinically left  Schalke 04, die Knappen, staring down a probable Champions League exit.

The Royal Club embarrassed the German hosts, 1 - 6 with Karim Benzema scoring on 13' and 57', Gareth Bale - on 21' and 69', Cristiano Ronaldo - on 52' and 89'.

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has scored the only goal for the hosts on 90+1'.
