Real Madrid got their Champions League campaign off to a winning start, beating Dinamo Zagreb 1-0 at the Stadion Maksimir.
Jose Mourinho's side dominated from the kick-off and were unlucky not to be ahead at the break after good chances for Cristiano Ronaldo, Fabio Coentrao and Karim Benzema, who struck the bar.
Madrid finally got the breakthrough on 53 minutes when Angel Di Maria swept home after a patient build-up.
The visitors ended the game with ten men when Marcelo was shown a second yellow card in the 73rd minute for taking a theatrical tumble in the Zagreb penalty area.
