Real Madrid avoided a massive Champions League upset as they came from behind to beat AEK Athens 3-2.

Aboubakary Koita gave AEK the lead just 12 minutes into an absorbing contest with a rasping left-footed strike, only for Jude Bellingham to level matters with a superb flicked finish.

Yet AEK appeared set for a famous result when Stavros Pilos fired through the legs of Thibaut Courtois 15 minutes from the end of normal time.

But Kylian Mbappe restored parity once more, and AEK hearts were broken in injury time when Federico Valverde fired a stunning strike into the far corner.
