Toni Kroos’ first-half goal was enough to hand Real Madrid their first Champions League win of the season at Galatasaray.
After picking up one point from their opening two games in Europe, and losing in the league at Mallorca on the weekend, the win lifts the pressure on Real head coach Zinedine Zidane.
Kroos opened the scoring in the first half in his 100th Champions League appearance, and that was enough to hand Real all three points.
The win lifts Real up to second in Group A at the halfway stage, though they are five points off Paris Saint-Germain, who thrashed Club Brugge to maintain their perfect start.
