Galatasaray vs Real Madrid highlights: Watch Eden Hazard miss sitter in narrow Champions League win

Tom Dutton23 October 2019

Real Madrid took a big step towards salvaging their Uefa Champions League campaign on Tuesday with a 1-0 win over Galatasaray.

Eden Hazard set up Toni Kroos for the winning goal in the 18th minute, but Madrid struggled to impose their authority on the Turkish hosts for long periods of the game.

The visitors had chances to kill the game, but fluffed their lines in front of goal. Hazard, who has scored just one competitive goal since moving to Real in the summer, was guilty of a particularly glaring miss in the second-half when he rounded the goalkeeper and crashed an effort against the bar with the goal gaping.

"When you don't score the second goal to put the game away, you end up suffering until the end, and that's what happened," Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said.

After earning only one point from its first two Champions League games, the win lifts Madrid into second place in Group A, five points behind Paris Saint-Germain and two points clear of third-place Club Brugge.
