Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Shakhtar against Real Madrid in Group A of the Champions League. We’ll bring you build-up and team news over the course of the next hour, followed by full match commentary.

The final whistle goes and Rafa Benitez breathes a sigh of relief. His side have won 4-3, but that wasn't a performance that will silence the doubters!

The crowd are on their feet and Shakhtar have the ball. Real are rattled.

There will be three minutes of time added on. Can Shakhtar find a fourth goal to seal a spectacular comeback?

GOOOAAALLL!!! What is going on?! Alex Teixeira makes it 4-3, turning inside the box and slotting into the bottom corner after being teed up by Taison. The comeback is on!

Bernard's delivery is superb, but Real hack clear and breathe a sigh of relief. It's still 4-2, but the hosts have their tails up.

Danilo is booked for a foul in the left-back channel. Bernard is standing over the free-kick...

Real are looking rattled and this capitulation won't have done much to quieten the dissatisfaction amongst the supporters. Benitez is like a cat on a hot tin roof on the sidelines, rightly distraught about what he's seeing.

Shakhtar break but Casilla bravely claims a Teixeira pass across the face of the goal. Surely Shakhtar can't get back into this?

GOOOAAALLL!!! Dentinho chests in a second for Shakhtar after being left completely unmarked at the back post from the corner. Real Madrid's defence have switched off and are being duly punished.

Bernard wriggles into the box and wins a corner for his side. He's been terrific tonight in a losing effort.

That goal scuppers Real Madrid's chances of making it through the group stage without conceding a goal. They'd had four straight clean-sheets before tonight.

GOOOAAALLL!!! Alex Teixeira picks out the bottom corner to give the home fans something to cheer. 4-1.

Shakhtar have a penalty! Where has that come from?! Out of nowhere the hosts break at pace and Casemiro commits a needless foul

Ferreyra replaces Gladkyy for the hosts. The substitute spent the whole of last season on loan at Newcastle United and didn't make a single appearance. Make of that what you will.

Bale and Ronaldo embraced on the ground after that goal. It's good to see the two stars getting along after having so many reported differences of late.

That's the last involvement for Bale. On comes Benzema in his place.

GOOOAAALLL!!! Cristiano Ronaldo scores his second of the night to make it 4-0... but this goal is all about Bale. The Welshman nips the ball past the right-back on the halfway line and uses his ridiculous pace to reach the penalty area before anyone can get close to him. He skins the covering defender and pulls the ball back for Ronaldo, who scores at the second attempt. 4-0.
