The Spanish side were down by two goals before Karim Benzema and Casemiro netted two late goals to earn Madrid a draw at the Borussia Park on Tuesday 27.


French forward Marcus Thuram opened scoring for The Foals in the 33rd minute and made it two for the hosts in the 58th minute.


The visitors fought back and netted their opener through French striker Karim Benzema's overhead kick in the 87th minute and Casemiro levelled up for the Los Blancos in the 93rd minute.


With this result and a surprise 2-3 loss to Ukrainian Champions Shakhtar Donetsk, Real Madrid have one point and ranked bottom in Group B while Borussia Mönchengladbach have accumulated two points from two encounters and are placed second.



Real Madrid Head Coach, Zinedine Zidane, said: "For me, this draw is not a relief, it's a deserved result.


"We had an opponent who had us in trouble on two or three occasions, but we didn't panic and came back with character.


"If we continue to play like that, we'll do great things and we'll win matches, that's for sure."
