00:00Extended highlights presented by Heineken Silver, world-class light beer.
00:05And that is a side overflowing.
00:29Out go Anri, Chase, Fabian, Ryder and Ermidin Demirovic.
00:33They're all on the bench now.
00:35Runner-up in this competition in 2020, yet to win it though.
00:39That's why he's arrived at Real Madrid, to win the big trophies.
00:43So, match day one is underway.
00:46It is Stuttgart in the red and white, kicking from right to left in the first half.
00:51Alexander Neubauer is the Stuttgart goalkeeper.
01:00Real Madrid have hardly touched the ball yet.
01:03Stiller works it to his right-hand side.
01:06Wagnerman helping it on down the line and continuing his run.
01:09Wagnerman, the cross comes in and this is brought down by Furek.
01:13And this might be dangerous. As the shot comes in, Courtois has to make the save.
01:23Valverde, that's a nice little ball.
01:27Abate pulling it back, Chiomini.
01:30Just got underneath it a little bit.
01:37Undov nicks it forward. Milo here for Stuttgart, should have put him in front.
01:43Double pivots are dropping in between the two centre-backs to try and get on the ball.
01:48Undov.
01:52Neubauer cutting inside and Courtois is called into action again.
01:56It was a slightly bobbling...
02:00I don't think Middlestad thought that should have been a Real Madrid throw-in, but that's what it was.
02:05It's nicely done.
02:08Abate's shot is straight at Neubauer.
02:11Bellingham was sniffing around just in case, but there he is, working that left-hand side.
02:16Alexander Neubauer here for Stuttgart, finding Jeff Chabot.
02:22A smattering of Frenchmen in the Stuttgart squad.
02:25Chabot's forward ball brought down neatly by Furek, who's got away from Vasquez here.
02:32Milo can help it on its way. Leverling collect.
02:37Furek and Undov in the middle, one with five white jerseys.
02:40There's a lot of room here for Enzo Milo, who goes for goal.
02:44And Courtois makes another save.
02:48That's three attempts on target now, two more Courtois has had to deal with.
02:53They're certainly testing him.
02:56Again, a decent effort from distance.
03:02Leverling would run offside there. Milo cuts inside, finds a skip for Carazor.
03:07Carazor to Undov.
03:16Stiller.
03:19Middlestad is very well forward, left-hand side.
03:22Beautifully played, the flag stays down.
03:24And Courtois is there again, and this time denies Stiller.
03:29That was a brilliant move. They sliced Real Madrid open.
03:34And Courtois has been exceptional.
03:36And he's had to be brilliant from Stuttgart.
03:40It may well have been an offside anyway.
03:43Stiller wasn't to know when he went through.
03:46They played through Real Madrid's midfield as if they're not there.
03:50Onside, Undov into FĂŒrich with a positive little run forward.
03:54Bellingham made a good challenge.
04:01Fernand Mendy here.
04:20And away by Carvajal, finding Vinicius Junior.
04:24Mbappe.
04:27Oh, brilliantly done, Kylian Mbappe!
04:30Neubauer with a brilliant save as well.
04:36And sheer weight of numbers has done the trick for the moment.
04:39Though the clearance wasn't the best from Wagner-Mann.
04:42Now they might break. Undov, it's 3-2 here.
04:45Undov has support.
04:49And it's deflected by Carvajal onto his own crossbar.
04:56Lina with this corner kick.
04:59Header from Carrizal wasn't a million miles away.
05:06Bellingham exchanging a pass with Mbappe,
05:09threading it through to Rodrigo.
05:11Lucas Vazquez in support. Rodrigo doesn't need him.
05:13And that is deflected over for a corner.
05:16I think it was Mittelstadt who lunged his way
05:19and got a deflection.
05:21Well, it's the first time I've seen Bellingham
05:23in that forward position, heavily involved.
05:26Hands the ball to Rodrigo.
05:30Bellingham was so effective last season, scored plenty of goals.
05:35I don't think I've seen a better goal as 30 minutes of football.
05:38Rodrigo's corner kick and a downward header
05:41from Chiumeni is saved by Neubauer.
05:47Rodrigo corner.
05:52And it's a penalty.
05:55It's a penalty to Real Madrid.
05:57Rodrigo was caught as the corner kick dropped.
06:00Mittelstadt was trying to clear it, pointed to the penalty spot.
06:07How much contact is that?
06:09Rodrigo does get a touch on the ball.
06:16Doesn't look loads in it.
06:21Does Mittelstadt catch him?
06:25He's going to go and have a look.
06:27Rob Diepring, the video system referee,
06:30has recommended that Umet Meyler just go and have a look
06:34at what we have seen, which is the swinging boot,
06:39and how much contact there is.
06:41Yeah, exactly that.
06:44It doesn't look like he's touched him.
06:48That's what the VAR has asked him to come and have a look at.
06:55If there's any contact, it's minimal.
06:59And the penalty decision is overturned.
07:07Played through the lines, from back to front,
07:10created opportunities and kept possession in a hostile atmosphere.
07:15Well, there we are.
07:16Quite fantastic first 45 minutes in the Bernabeu.
07:20It's GĂłlez at the break.
07:23And Real Madrid get the second half underway,
07:25kicking from right to left.
07:27GĂłlez, after a really absorbing, open, entertaining first 45 minutes.
07:35No changes from Stuttgart, by the way.
07:38And that has got through the last man.
07:41Rodrigo sprinting onto it.
07:43And Mbappe puts it into the back of the net.
07:46And Real Madrid have the lead inside 30 seconds
07:51at the start of the second half.
07:56They've got willing runners.
07:57Rodrigo, Vinicius Junior,
07:59have both been willing to get in behind that Stuttgart defence.
08:02It's a mistake at the back.
08:03It shouldn't really find its way through to Rodrigo.
08:06But it does.
08:07And then he's got the presence, the awareness,
08:10the ability to pick out Kylian Mbappe.
08:14You're thinking he might go for goal himself as he cuts inside.
08:17But he waits for the opportune moment to lay it on a plate for Mbappe.
08:22Really unselfish play by Mbappe.
08:25Lay it on a plate for Mbappe.
08:28Really unselfish play.
08:29Mbappe can't miss.
08:30What a start to the second half for Real Madrid.
08:35Pretty much nobody has the pace to recover with Rodrigo
08:39once he's in behind you like that.
08:42We've seen him in a couple of moments of absolute magic.
08:46Here they come again with Mbappe.
08:48Bellingham arriving in the middle.
08:50And he tried to beat Newell at the near post.
08:53It's a corner to Real Madrid.
08:54It could easily have been a second goal.
08:56That for control.
08:59Carvajal infield.
09:02And then receiving the backheel from Rodrigo
09:04and brought down to Vinicius Junior who rattles the bar.
09:10Tempo's gone up a notch.
09:14Vinicius Junior so quick to get out of his feet.
09:16No backlift.
09:19Past the goalkeeper.
09:24Clarence downfield may now get Schurich moving forward
09:29for Stuttgart.
09:30And here's the chance for Loebling to shoot.
09:32And Courtois makes the save.
09:36Good one too.
09:38That is a top save.
09:43Just called in possession.
09:44Wagner was dawdling a little.
09:47Vinicius Junior took it from him.
09:54Nice little change of feet.
09:58And the shot comes in
09:59and is very comfortably dealt with indeed.
10:02Loebling flanks for the moment.
10:05He's had more shots than anyone else I would say.
10:07For Stuttgart it must be five or six almost.
10:10He's not been afraid to take aim.
10:12Stuttgart corner.
10:14Substitution's a perk them up.
10:17Rieder takes.
10:19And it's a goal.
10:20Substitution's a perk them up.
10:22Rieder takes.
10:24It's lofted back in and the header is in.
10:30Denis Undov has equalised for Stuttgart.
10:38Real Madrid won.
10:39Stuttgart won.
10:41Courtois beaten this time.
10:43Undov the goalscorer.
10:46Just had their best spell of the second half.
10:49Courtois has been absolutely immense
10:51but there's nothing he can do about this.
10:58They keep it alive.
11:00Loebling again.
11:01And Undov's header is really well guided into that far corner.
11:09Comes in quickly.
11:11Just guides it
11:13inside that far post.
11:15Brilliant header.
11:19The 18-year-old.
11:22It's going to be a Real Madrid throw in there.
11:24They won't hang about.
11:25Fangazia takes it very quickly.
11:28Valverde.
11:35Corner kick.
11:49Real Madrid corner.
11:50One each.
11:51Seven and a half to play.
11:52Modric delivers.
11:53And it's glanced into the net.
11:57Real Madrid snatch the lead.
12:01Modric with the delivery.
12:05Rieder with the header.
12:08And it's a goal.
12:10And it's a goal.
12:11And it's a goal.
12:13And it's a goal.
12:15And it's a goal.
12:16Rieder.
12:20And Rudiger heads that in from, what, three or four yards out.
12:23But look at NĂŒbel.
12:25He gets nowhere near it.
12:28He thinks about coming.
12:30He's too late reacting.
12:33Rudiger gets there first and guides it home.
12:38Well, it is only Antonio Rudiger's fifth-ever goal for Real Madrid.
12:43And it may well have won this game.
12:46He gets through some miles.
12:53And that's exactly where he wanted it and that's a really good save from Alexander Neubauer.
13:08And he can't find Mbappé because Chabot is in the way.
13:11Mbappé again. Chabot is still in the way.
13:16And a missed kick from Hendrik.
13:22Well there's not much time left but maybe just enough for Real Madrid to regret that miss.
13:30Last chance to loo.
13:33The last play of the day as they say.
13:36In goes the free kick and it's cleared away by Carvajal and the White Shirts will chase forward.
13:41It's 4 on to 2, maybe 5 on to 2.
13:45Hendrik here goes alone and it goes right through Neubauer into the back of the net.
13:51And Real Madrid have won this game.
13:54And the 18 year old Hendrik has his first Champions League goal on his Champions League debut.
14:02You're thinking this is it.
14:04Last chance for Stuttgart. Put it in the box. It's not a great delivery.
14:07And then they're away.
14:09Simon Hendrik picks this up now. He's got Mbappé to his left.
14:13Vinicius Junior to his right.
14:16Strikes it cleanly.
14:19Neubauer will think he should have done better.
14:25But what a moment for him.
14:28Takes a bit of confidence doesn't it to ignore Mbappé and Vinicius Junior.
14:33The keeper should save it. He hasn't really set himself because he's been backpedalling.
14:38He was almost on the half way line as the free kick was taken.
14:41It's 3-1 and it's done and dusted.
14:45And there is the whistle and confirmation that the holders have begun their defence of their trophy with a victory.
14:54But what a hard earned one it was, Matt Holland.
