Real Madrid secured a 1-0 victory against Juventus at Santiago Bernabeu in third-round Champions League group stage action. The Spanish side climbed to fifth place with nine points, while the Italian club remained in 25th position with two points. Thibaut Courtois made several critical saves throughout the contest to preserve his clean sheet against persistent attacking pressure.

Vinicius Junior created the decisive moment in the 58th minute when his shot rebounded off the post for Jude Bellingham to convert. Juventus generated multiple scoring chances but failed to capitalize as Courtois denied Dusan Vlahovic and other attempts. Kylian Mbappe missed a clear opportunity before halftime when the opposing goalkeeper blocked his effort from close range.

The visitors controlled portions of the match through counterattacks, yet lacked finishing quality in the final third. Weston McKennie and Federico Gatti tested Courtois early with long-distance strikes. Real Madrid dominated possession but struggled to break down organized defensive resistance until Bellingham's breakthrough goal settled the outcome.
