Real Madrid got their title defence off to a winning start thanks to three second-half goals. Both goalkeepers were kept busy in an absorbing but goalless first half, before Kylian Mbappé converted Rodrygo's cross shortly after the break.

Deniz Undav nodded an equaliser for Stuttgart, yet Real Madrid replied with an 83rd-minute Antonio Rüdiger header from Luka Modrić's corner. Endrick then slotted in a third in added time to seal the victory.

Key stat: Aged 18 years and 58 days, Endrick became Real Madrid's youngest ever Champions League goalscorer.
