Since the start of the previous campaign, Real has not lost in any competition for more than 250 days, including this one.
What then went awry?The 90 minutes that Los Merengues played tonight were far from their most stunning; the contest lacked flair in the last third of the game for the most part.
However, things much improved when Arda Güler entered the picture.
Before nearly missing the net with a header of his own in injury time, Turkish international Güler, who was brought on for the final twenty or so minutes in Lille, provided the visiting squad some much-needed guile and generated many clear opportunities to score goals.
Real Madrid genuinely needed the effect of a player of that quality during Wednesday’s play. Once again, manager Carlo Ancelotti and his coaching staff were shown by their 19-year-old midfield jewel that he is more than ready to step up when his teammates need him.
