Real Madrid faced a tough test away at Chelsea in their opening Womenâs Champions League group stage clash.
And after there was a late change to their opponentsâ team sheet at Stamford Bridge, perhaps they thought luck was on their side.
The Blues had named Hannah Hampton in goal, but reports suggested she was suffering from illness just before kick-off, and was replaced by ZeÄira MuĆĄoviÄ at the last minute.
Yet the Spanish side found themselves behind after just three minutes when a determined effort from Johanna Rytting Kaneryd was turned in through a defensive error.
The goal was awarded to Sjoeke NĂŒsken, but in reality the defensive error came from Sheila GarcĂa.
Can Real Madrid bounce back?
