A second-half goal surge on Tuesday night led the Reds to victory over Xabi Alonso’s Bundesliga champions, securing 12 points from their first four league-phase matches. Diaz opened the scoring in the 61st minute and wrapped it up in stoppage time, while Cody Gakpo added to the tally with a header for the hosts' second goal of the night.

The loss leaves Real Madrid with six points from its first four matches in the tournament. Up next is an away game against Liverpool at Anfield.
