Kylian Mbappe returned from injury for Madrid as a substitute, but was upstaged by Jonathan David, whose penalty condemned Carlo Ancelotti's side to their first loss in all competitions since January - a run spanning 36 matches.
Canada international David, scorer of a hat-trick in Ligue 1 at the weekend, buried his spot-kick at the end of the first half after Eduardo Camavinga used his arm to block a strike from Edon Zhegrova.

Elsewhere, Villa also enjoyed a night to remember as a brilliant goal from in-form Colombian forward Jhon Duran lifted the hosts past Bayern.
Duran's majestic lob in the 79th minute caught Manuel Neuer well out of position and earned Villa their second win in a row in the club's first appearance in Europe's top competition in 41 years.
Harry Kane almost snatched a last-gasp equalizer but Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez pulled off a superb stop to deny the England captain.
