Real Madrid 2-1 Shakhtar Donetsk: Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior score as holders make it three wins from three in Champions League... but Carlo Ancelotti is left frustrated with lack of ruthlessness

Carlo Ancelotti was left fuming at times at the Santiago Bernabeu as Real Madrid could only narrowly beat Shakhtar Donetsk 2-1 despite dominating for ninety minutes.

He had watched his team fluff enough chances to win three games and then carelessly concede to allow the Ukrainians back into it. Rarely will a win, keeping them top of the group, have upset him so much. ‘We could have won it 7-1,’ Toni Kroos said post-match and he was not exaggerating.

Real Madrid were 2-1 up at half time. Rarely has a more one-sided first 45 minutes ended with the scoreline so close. Madrid had 14 shots in the first 35 minutes but only scored twice.

The first came on 13 minutes when Rodrygo got two goes at a shot from the edge of the area and buried the second.

On 28 minutes Madrid doubled the lead and the team goal was sublime. Aurelien Tchouameni started the move passing to Karim Benzema. He played the ball to Fede Valverde who gave the ball back to the Frenchman who found Rodrygo. The Brazilian slipped the ball through to his compatriot Vinicius and he scored past Anatolii Trubin.
