da lvbet: Not many predicted Real Madrid drawing 2-2 with Club Brugge at the Santiago Bernabeu.
And not to mention that this happened in the coveted Champions League, the competition very much ruled by Los Blancos and Zinedine Zidane.
But this season we never know what kind of Real Madrid will walk out of that dressing room and onto the pitch. Will it be the one that is finally finding their groove in Spain, topping La Liga? Or is it going to be the one fluffing their lines in the Champions League, tallying just a point in their first two games?

Of course, despite their heroic comeback that secured a draw, we got the latter version when Brugge visited the Spanish capital.
And one player, in particular, had an excellent game, as he took full advantage of the disoriented players in white.
The 21-year-old Emmanuel Bonaventure Dennis has so far been blowing hot and cold back in Jupiler League in Belgium. In the six games he has played, he has managed to score twice, and not many actually expected him to explode at the Santiago Bernabeu.
But he very much did, scoring twice against Real and doing so in a total of just three shots on the night. He also registered three successful dribbles and 57.1% passing accuracy. His passing was not really great but seeing how Real Madrid had 74% possession themselves, he wasn’t really given a chance to express himself on the ball, making his goals all the more impressive.
Dennis also tallied two long balls and even had one tackle to his name throughout the 70 minutes he spent on the pitch.
Whenever he got a chance, he took it and made Real suffer.
And yes, the Galacticos came back in the second half, but that still doesn’t take anything away from this gigantic performance in the heart of Madrid.
Not to mention that he celebrated both goals with Cristiano Ronaldo’s signature move, probably adding some insult to injury for the Galacticos.
