* Bruno Cesar scored for Sporting * Ronaldo denies a win to his boyhood club after scoring an equaliserLate strikes from Cristiano Ronaldo and Alvaro Morata gave Real Madrid a last-gasp 2-1 win over Sporting Lisbon as the European champions came from behind to win the first game of their Champions League defence. "We didn't start the game well but Real Madrid are famous for comebacks like these and we leave here very happy," said Morata. "We always believed in ourselves and we proved that you can always win a game until the referee blows the final whistle. Zidane's double substitution had a tangible impact on the game, however, with Lucas Vazquez giving Real extra energy while Morata added extra power in the area. And it was the local striker's tenacity that won the points at the death as he leapt to head James Rodriguez's cross home.
