Legia Warsaw prevented Real Madrid from clinching a spot in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, rallying from a 2-0 deficit to tie the Spanish power 3-3. ( JANEK SKARZYNSKI / AFP/GETTY IMAGES )One more team booked a ticket in the knockout stage of the Champions League on Wednesday and it wasn’t the star-studded defending champion, Real Madrid. Needing a win at Legia Warsaw to advance, Madrid squandered a 2-0 lead and allowed the Polish side to earn its first point of the campaign in what became a highly embarrassing 3-3 draw for the Spanish powerhouse. “It was a strange match, it didn’t go the way we wanted it to,” the Madrid manager said. Madrid was facing a humiliating defeat until Mateo Kovacic fired in from near the edge of the box to at least rescue a point.
