If you thought things could not het worse for Real Madrid, their loss against CSKA will make you change your mind.
Los Blancos had one of their worst performances in a European match, which was put to good use by the Russian side who claimed a 3-0 win over the Spanish giants. This is the team's second 3-0 loss under Santiago Solari, which gets worse when you take a deep look inside the team's record books.
There were a number of teams that were able to score three goals against Los Blancos at the Bernabeu, but none of them had been able to hold on to such a lead...until today.

Last season, Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty against Juve saved Real Madrid from a similar embarrassment, but that game was being played against the Old Lady, not against a team that ended in the last spot of their UEFA Champions League group, which makes the following stat even more baffling.
CSKA Moscow are the first team to defeat Real Madrid both home and away in the group stages of a Champions League campaign since Juventus in 2008-09.
