2015-16 UEFA Champions League QF VfL Wolfsburg Vs Real Madrid Wednesday April 06,2016

VfL Wolfsburg beats Real Madrid 2-0

Goal scorers - Ricardo Rodriguez (18th minute penalty)and Max Arnold(25)

Wolfsburg stunned an out-of-sorts Real Madrid by comfortably beating the Spanish team in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie. 

The hosts were awarded a controversial penalty when Casemiro was deemed to have fouled Andre Schurrle, and Ricardo Rodriguez converted from the spot.

Defeat was Real's first in a Champions League quarter-final since 2004, and leaves the 10-time winners needing a vastly improved performance in the return leg at the Bernabeu next Tuesday.

Real Madrid last overturned a two-goal first-leg deficit in European competition in 1987, when they beat Red Star Belgrade in the quarter-finals of the European Cup.

• Navas conceded his first goal in the Champions League after 738 minutes of play.
• Real are 2-0 down in a Champions League game for the first time since April 2014, which was against Borussia Dortmund. That was the last time they lost by two goals in the competition.
• Wolfsburg have now won five Champions League games in a row, extending their best run in the competition.
• They have only lost one of their eight Champions League home games - 3-1 to Manchester United in December 2009.
