Real Madrid were in danger of trailing AEK Athens at halftime of Wednesday's Champions League game before a moment of magic from midfielder Jude Bellingham brought the 15-time European champions level.
After the Greek hosts took a surprising 1-0 lead in the 12th minute, Bellingham quelled fears in the visitors' dugout by scoring with his backheel off a cross from Marc Cucurella to make it 1-1.

AEK Athens took the lead again in the second half, but the advantage was short-lived, as Kylian Mbappe scored three minutes later to equalize the match at 2-2 in the 78th minute.
Madrid increased the pressure late and were rewarded in injury time when Fede Valverde fired manager Jose Mourinho's team to a 3-2 victory with a goal in the 92nd minute.
