AEK Athens only won their first home game against Linz and then lost to Shakhtar and Manchester City.

AEK Atenas and Real Madrid are drawing this Wednesday in the fourth day of the Champions League. Koita put the Greek team ahead with an individual play in which he faced Cucurella and took a shot into the unappealable top corner in which Courtois, who had previously prevented a goal with his foot, could do nothing. Madrid then reacted, however, continuing to suffer in defense and Courtois once again avoided the second after a shot from Jovic. Towards half an hour into the game Bellingham scored offside after deflecting a shot from Vinicius, but four minutes later they would tie the game. The Englishman pulled a resource out of his hat with his heel after a Cucurella cross to set the score.
