Real Madrid suffer biggest home defeat in Europe after CSKA Moscow humbling

CSKA Moscow's 3-0 win over Real Madrid in the Champions League is the biggest home defeat the Spanish side have ever suffered in European competition.

While reigning title holders Madrid were already sure of their first place finish in Group G heading into Wednesday's match at the Santiago Bernabeu, their Russian opponents still had their eye on beating Viktoria Plzen to third place.

Through goals from Fedor Chalov and Georgi Shchennikov, the visitors had a two-goal lead by half-time and Santiago Solari's team had no luck in finding a way back in to the game.

Arnor Sigurdsson had it wrapped up with 15 minutes left, as CSKA became the first team to come away from a trip to Los Blancos with such a scoreline in any continental tournament.
