Real Madrid were denied a rare Champions League win in Germany, courtesy of Borussia Dortmund's Andre Schuerrle and his 87th-minute equaliser.
Defending champions Real Madrid have so far only won four times in 30 away games against German clubs. They were minutes from a first win in Dortmund in six attempts.
Madrid took the lead when Cristiano Ronaldo netted his 95th Champions League goal early on. Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was credited with the equaliser just before the break after a deflection off Raphael Varane. But the French international enjoyed second-half redemption when he stabbed home on 68 minutes before Dortmund levelled in the dying stages.
Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel introduced Schuerrle for Germany's World Cup-winner Mario Goetze on 58 minutes in what proved to be an inspired switch.
Real took the lead a second time when Varane followed in to score after a Benzema attempt had struck the post and the bar. But Dortmund were not done, and when Aubameyang's attempt at an overhead kick distracted Danilo, the ball brushed off his chest and into Schuerrle's path as the Germany winger fired home the equaliser.
