Last updated on .From the section Cycling
Primoz Roglic finished a second ahead of his rivals in a stunning sprint finish
Two-time winner Chris Froome struggled as Slovenia's defending champion Primoz Roglic took the opening stage of the Vuelta a Espana.
Briton Froome, 35, in his final Vuelta for Ineos Grenadiers, was dropped on the penultimate climb and finished more than 11 minutes behind the leader.
Roglic pipped a small pack including Ineos' Richard Carapaz and Irish rider Dan Martin of Israel Start-Up Nation.
EF Pro's British rider Hugh Carthy finished seventh.
The 26-year-old from Preston, who crashed out in stage six of the event last year, is only 14 seconds behind Roglic.
Froome, winner of seven Grand Tours, found it difficult to stay with the pace of the peloton and fell away from the pack during the climb up Elgeta.
The 35-year-old said he was unsure about his condition coming into the race, as he continues to get back to peak race fitness following his horrific crash that ruled him out of both the 2019 Tour de France and Vuelta.
The Vuelta set off almost two months late from Irun because of coronavirus, with just a few spectators in attendance for a 173km route that featured four big climbs.

A number of people have reportedly been shot dead or wounded at a protest against police brutality in Nigeria's biggest city, Lagos.
Witnesses and the rights group Amnesty International said several people were killed and wounded when soldiers opened fire.
The state governor said about 25 people had been wounded but only one person had died.
An indefinite 24-hour curfew has been imposed on Lagos and other regions.
Protests over a now-disbanded police unit - the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (Sars) - have been taking place for two weeks, with demonstrators using the social media hashtag #EndSars to rally crowds.
As tensions continued to rise on Wednesday, police in different districts of Lagos fired shots in the air to disperse people defying the curfew, the BBC's Nduka Orjinmo reports from the capital, Abuja.
Protesters who briefly gathered again at the Lekki toll gate - where Tuesday's shootings took place - were forced out by police, he adds.
President Muhammadu Buhari has appealed for "understanding and calm".

However, plumes of smoke could be seen above Lagos on Wednesday.
A reporter for AFP news agency said several buildings were in flames around the Lekki area. A bus station was reported to be on fire in another district while a major TV station - linked to one of the governing party's top politicians - was reportedly set alight by people throwing petrol bombs.
The headquarters of the Nigerian Ports Authority was also set on fire, local media said.
What do we know about the shooting?
Witnesses spoke of uniformed men opening fire in the wealthy Lekki suburb on Tuesday evening.
Soldiers were seen barricading the protest site moments before the shooting, BBC Nigeria correspondent Mayeni Jones reports.
Social media footage streamed live from the scene shows protesters tending to the wounded.

An unnamed witness told BBC News that shortly before 19:00 local time soldiers "pulled up... and they started firing directly" at peaceful protesters.
"They were firing and they were advancing straight at us. It was chaos. Somebody got hit straight beside me and he died on the spot," he said.
Four witnesses told Reuters news agency that soldiers had opened fire on demonstrators. One of them, Alfred Ononugbo, 55, said: "They were firing into the crowd. I saw the bullet hit one or two persons."

A statement issued by his office said the dissolution of the Sars was "the first step in a set of reform policies that will deliver a police system accountable to the Nigerian people".
"The presidency wishes to reiterate the full commitment of the Buhari administration to the implementation of lasting police reforms in Nigeria," it added.

The army has not issued a statement on events in Lekki, but in several Twitter posts it described media reports as "fake news".
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who visited hospitals on Wednesday, said about 25 people had been wounded in what he described as an "unfortunate shooting incident".
He initially said no-one had been killed but later said one person had died in hospital due to "blunt force trauma to the head".
Contradicting the army, he told the BBC's Newshour programme that the military had been at the scene at the time of the shooting despite public assurances that soldiers would not be deployed until after the start of a curfew at 21:00.
"I think about seven o'clock or thereabouts there was a small unit of the military that went [to Lekki] and we heard that gunshots were fired," he said.
What other reaction has there been?
And former US Vice-President Joe Biden - who is standing against President Donald Trump in next month's election - also urged authorities to end the "violent crackdown on protesters".
"The US must stand with Nigerians who are peacefully demonstrating for police reform and seeking an end to corruption in their democracy," he said in a statement.
Nigerian footballer Odion Jude Ighalo, who plays for Manchester United, accused the Nigerian government of killing its own citizens. "I'm ashamed of this government," he said in a video posted on Twitter.
Nigeria reacts to harrowing scenes
Analysis by Mayeni Jones, BBC Nigeria Correspondent
It was a bleak night in Nigeria as social media footage from the shooting poured in, showing gunshots ringing out at the protest site long into the night.
This is not the first time the Nigerian army has been accused of shooting unarmed protesters. There have been reports of violent crackdowns on EndSars protesters in other parts of the country.
But seeing live rounds used at one of the protest sites that had been peaceful until last night has rattled many. Just last week I stood at the very site of the shooting.
The protesters were peaceful, organised, hopeful for the future of their country. But this is no more.
Harrowing social media videos showing protesters singing the national anthem as shots ring out in the background have caused outrage.
Multiple online accounts say the CCTV and lights were taken out at the toll gate where the protest took place before troops started advancing, leading to total chaos.
These details are galvanising a generation already disillusioned with the ruling class. The Nigerian government is running out of time to quell the growing dissatisfaction.
How did the unrest begin?
Protests began nearly two weeks ago with calls for the Sars police unit, which had been accused of illegal detentions, assaults and shootings, to be disbanded.
President Buhari dissolved the unit on 11 October.
But the demonstrators called for more changes in the security forces as well as reforms to the way the country is run.
Mr Sanwo-Olu has said that criminals have hijacked the protests.

The slowdown in production has helped its profits

Five ways the virus has changed Netflix Published 20 October 2020

Demand for online entertainment surged when the world went into lockdown earlier this year. But how is Netflix faring after that initial boost?
1. Growth is slowing - even more than Netflix had expected
According to its latest results, Netflix added just 2.2 million new subscribers in the three months to 30 September, as the surge of demand for its services prompted by the pandemic faded.
While it had warned that a slowdown was likely, the final figure came in below its July forecast of 2.5 million, sending the firm's shares down 5% in after-hours trade.
"The pandemic streaming party has come to an end," Paolo Pescatore, analyst at PP Foresight, declared.
Still, Netflix reminded investors that it's still on track for a record number of 34 million new subscribers in 2020 - or more than 200 million overall.
2. The Old Guard, an action film starring Charlize Theron, was the Netflix hit of the quarter
Image source, Reuters Image caption, Charlize Theron stars in The Old Guard, which Netflix said was its top production in the quarter
Netflix said 78 million member households watched The Old Guard, a Netflix original, in the first four weeks after its launch, making it the firm's most popular title of the quarter.
Enola Holmes, Project Power and The Kissing Booth 2 were also popular, attracting 76 million, 75 million and 66 million households in the first four weeks after their debut.
Of course, those figures should be taken with a grain of salt - Netflix counts any viewing time of more than two minutes towards its tally. And the viewer numbers it shares are focused on its own original productions.
3. Markets outside of the US are absolutely critical to the business
The number of international subscribers to Netflix had already eclipsed those in the US - and overseas growth continues to be critical.
In the most recent quarter, the strongest subscriber growth occurred in its Asia Pacific region, which accounted for more than one million new subscribers - almost half of the sign-ups. The firm boasted that it now claims memberships in a "double-digit" share of broadband-connected homes in Japan and South Korea.
But the firm still makes its most revenue per user in the US, so retention in its home market is key, especially as competition from rivals like Disney and HBO heats up.
On that score, Netflix sought to reassure investors, writing in its quarterly update that "retention remains healthy and engagement per member household was up solidly" compared to last year.
4. Now the race is on for more content
The shutdown in film and television productions, forced by lockdowns this spring, has placed a major focus on how Netflix and its competitors will get hold of new offerings to retain their members.
Netflix downplayed those concerns, saying it was making "good and careful progress" in production and it expected the number of Netflix productions launching next year to exceed 2020 in every quarter.
Netflix stands to benefit from the struggles of cinema operators, said Sophie Lund-Yates, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown. But as homebound audiences burn through material at a faster rate, costs will increase - and could push the company to raise prices, she warned.
"Original content might keep customers, but it costs a pretty penny, and is downright ghoulish for the bottom line," she said. "If consumers are expected to burn through content at a faster rate, the cash flow hole will in theory get bigger."
5. The slowdown in production has helped its profits
The firm reported a record $790 million in quarterly profit, as revenue increased more than expected to $6.4bn, thanks in part to the appreciation of the euro against the dollar.

Team principal Otmar Szafnauer said at the Eifel Grand Prix that he was `` confident '' Stroll did not have coronavirus , despite having `` flu-like symptoms '' , an upset stomach and was `` just not well in himself and could n't exercise '' .

Stroll is the second Racing Point driver to contract Covid-19 this year
Racing Point driver Lance Stroll says he tested positive for coronavirus after the Eifel Grand Prix weekend.
The Canadian - who did not race - was unwell and displayed a number of Covid-19 symptoms at the Nurburgring race but was not tested over the weekend.
Stroll said his symptoms were "pretty mild" and he went home on the morning of the 11 October race and took a test.
He had another test on Monday, before this weekend's Portuguese Grand Prix, and returned a negative result.
"I feel in great shape and I can't wait to be back with the team and to race in Portugal," he added on social media external-link .
Racing Point did not report Stroll's illness at the Eifel Grand Prix to governing body the FIA as a potential Covid case.
They said in a statement on Wednesday that this was because "a doctor did not believe his symptoms indicated Covid-19 and did not advise a test was necessary".
"Based on this clinical assessment, at the time there was no requirement to inform the FIA as to the nature of the illness," the statement added.
A spokesman for the FIA said it would not be taking any further action because "we don't feel that there has been any breach of the (Covid) code".
The FIA's code of protocols for dealing with Covid-19 says participants must "comply with the instructions of his/her Stakeholder (team) and the Covid-19 Delegate" if "he/she tests positive for the Covid-19 virus or he/she starts to suffer from any Covid-19 symptoms".
BBC Sport can reveal that Stroll's father Lawrence, who owns the team, has also contracted coronavirus.
Lawrence Stroll was tested at his Swiss home on the Sunday of the Eifel Grand Prix and returned a positive result, the team said, adding that he has been isolating since but has had no symptoms.
He had not travelled to the Russian Grand Prix or the Eifel GP.
Racing Point's statement said that Stroll first developed a stomach upset over the Russian Grand Prix weekend.
He tested negative for Covid-19 "several times" over the two weeks before the Nurburgring race, the team said, and again before travelling to Germany.
His stomach upset returned on Saturday morning at the Nurburgring, "which forced Lance to withdraw from the race and stay in his motorhome away from the paddock".
"Lance then flew home to Switzerland on a private plane on Sunday morning," the team added.
"In line with Racing Point's enhanced testing protocol, under which all team members are tested on return from a Grand Prix, Lance took a Covid-19 test at home and received a positive result the next day.
"He continued to isolate for 10 days from the date of the test, in line with local regulations. He returned a negative test on Monday this week and will travel to the Portuguese Grand Prix.
"All members of the Racing Point team at the Eifel Grand Prix returned to the UK via a private charter flight and all tested negative upon their arrival, and again in their pre-event test for the Portuguese Grand Prix."
Team principal Otmar Szafnauer said at the Eifel Grand Prix that he was "confident" Stroll did not have coronavirus, despite having "flu-like symptoms", an upset stomach and was "just not well in himself and couldn't exercise".
This was despite those being listed as possible coronavirus symptoms on the websites of both the World Health Organisation and the US's Centre for Disease Control.
Stroll is the second Racing Point driver to contract Covid-19 this year. His team-mate Sergio Perez was forced to miss the two races at Silverstone in the summer after catching the virus following a trip home to Mexico to see his mother.

This time it was only a group game but the result was the same - Rashford finding the far post to rattle in a wonderful 87th-minute winner and leave Mbappe frustrated again .

'He can be world class' At 21 Mbappe has already been the subject of a £165m transfer and is fast closing in on 100 goals for PSG .
He has won Ligue 1 four years in a row and has four other club medals under his belt - not to mention that World Cup win .

`` Rashford can definitely be world class if he keeps improving , '' former United captain Rio Ferdinand told BT Sport .

PSG 1-2 Man Utd: Scott McTominay played first half with one eye - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
The Parc des Princes is home to a speedy forward with designs on being the best player in the world, but not for the first time Kylian Mbappe was overshadowed by his opposite number as Manchester United picked up another famous win.
Nineteen months ago Marcus Rashford stepped up to score a last-minute penalty against Paris St-Germain and send Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side into the last eight of the Champions League.
This time it was only a group game but the result was the same - Rashford finding the far post to rattle in a wonderful 87th-minute winner and leave Mbappe frustrated again.
Solskjaer said after the game that Rashford and Mbappe were "both potentially top strikers for the next 10-15 years", but how does Rashford measure up to France's World Cup winner?
'He can be world class'
At 21 Mbappe has already been the subject of a £165m transfer and is fast closing in on 100 goals for PSG.
He has won Ligue 1 four years in a row and has four other club medals under his belt - not to mention that World Cup win.
Rashford is 14 months older and not as prolific - though he has already reached 40 caps for England and has picked up an MBE.
Kylian Mbappe has scored 19 Champions League goals, four of which have been against English teams. He still has time to become the youngest player to reach 20 goals in the competition, breaking Lionel Messi's record from 2010 (22y 267d).
"Marcus is a good footballer and he has quality," said Solskjaer.
"He took his goal very well and he has developed to be a very good striker. Both players seem very humble and hard working. It's nice to see them succeed."
"Rashford can definitely be world class if he keeps improving," former United captain Rio Ferdinand told BT Sport.
"He needs to add that poacher's element to his game. When Wayne Rooney signed for United he scored outrageous goals, he didn't score ugly goals. He became obsessed with scoring.
"Marcus scores fantastic goals and creates fantastic goals - if he can create that ugly side to the game then this kid can be unbelievable.
"The difference between Rashford and Mbappe is when Mbappe gets the ball I'm on the edge of my seat because he shapes up to go for goal. Marcus will have a look up and think about it a bit more."
'You might only get one chance'
Solskjaer said that this win in Paris lacked the "euphoria" of the last-16 victory from last year, with this match played behind closed doors because of coronavirus.
Bruno Fernandes put United ahead in familiar fashion from the penalty spot - retaken - before Anthony Martial misguided a header into his own net.
Mbappe's best moment came when he chopped inside two challenges but saw David de Gea make a flying save to beat out his shot.
And Rashford then drilled in the winner with three minutes left after failing to make the most of a clear counter-attack minutes earlier.
"It's a different feeling from the last time we won here, it's at the start of the group stage but we've beaten a fantastic team," Solskjaer said.
"Last time it was a knockout and it was euphoric, this is sterile without the fans but it's still excellent and we deserved to win."
"For me, they were both opportunities to win the game," Rashford said.
"As a striker, in the game late on, that's the mentality. You might only get one chance. It gets us the three points."


bbc--2020-10-21--Lions to play Japan at Murrayfield in warm-up for South Africa tour

Last updated on .From the section Rugby Union The British and Irish Lions will play Japan at Murrayfield on Saturday 26 June as a warm-up for their three-Test tour of South Africa .
`` It 's a chance for the matchday squad to put hands up for Test selection . ''
The Lions depart for South Africa shortly afterwards , with their tour opener against the Stormers on 3 July .
The first Test against the world champion Springboks is Johannesburg 's FNB Stadium on 24 July .
The venue can hold more than 90,000 spectators and was the venue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The second Test follows a week later in Cape Town before the two teams meet for a third time , back in the capital , on 7 August .
The warm-up against Japan is scheduled for the same day as the 2021 Premiership Rugby final , which precludes any of the finalists from selection .
The Lions drew with Argentina in a similar Test match in Cardiff before the 2005 tour of New Zealand .
More recently tour organisers have attempted to arrange overseas warm-up matches , with the 2013 Lions playing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stop-off en route to Australia .
Japan reached the last eight of the Rugby World Cup on home soil in 2019 , advancing from the pools at the expense of Scotland .
They also scored a notable victory over South Africa in the 2015 tournament .
`` It is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our players , and we ca n't wait for it to come , '' said head coach Jamie Joseph .

Last updated on .From the section Rugby Union
English-based players like Saracens' Maro Itoje, above, were an important part of the Lions team that drew the series against New Zealand in 2017
England players are set to miss the British and Irish Lions warm-up match against Japan on 26 June because it is outside World Rugby's Test window.
"At the moment Premiership Rugby have not sanctioned the release of English-based players," Lions managing director Ben Calveley told BBC Sport.
The restriction means Scotland captain Stuart Hogg, who plays for Exeter, would also miss the Murrayfield game.
The Premiership final is on 26 June - the same day as the Lions' warm-up.
However Calveley said he still hoped that an agreement could be reached to allow players from the 10 Premiership clubs not playing in the domestic showpiece to be involved against Japan.
"If there is a way that the players that aren't playing in the final could be made available for the match then clearly we would like that," added Calveley.
"We will continue in dialogue with all of the stakeholders involved.
"Whoever is wearing the Lions jersey will be an incredibly high-quality group of players ready to take on that challenge against Japan."
Hogg's Exeter and Scotland team-mate Jonny Gray and Wales and Bath number eight Taulupe Faletau are also set to be unavailable for the fixture as it stands.
England's players all play their club rugby on home soil with selection of overseas players for the international side only allowed in "exceptional circumstances".
World Rugby stipulates that domestic sides are only obliged to release players to play international fixtures from the first week of July.
The Lions' begin their tour of South Africa against Cape Town-based provincial side the Stormers on 3 July.
The first Test against the world champion Springboks is in Johannesburg on 24 July with the second and third Tests on the following two weekends.
Calveley said he was "absolutely optimistic" that the tour would go ahead despite the difficulties of coronavirus, although admitted that "we are contingency planning in the background in case different scenarios emerge".
The Japan match will be a rare "home" fixture for the Lions.
They drew with Argentina in Cardiff before the 2005 tour of New Zealand, but have attempted to arrange overseas warm-up matches before recent trips.
The 2013 team beat the Barbarians in Hong Kong on a stop-off en route to Australia.
Japan reached the last eight of the Rugby World Cup on home soil in 2019, advancing from the pools at the expense of Scotland. They also scored a notable victory over South Africa in the 2015 tournament.
"They are a talented side who play high-tempo rugby, so it'll be a good challenge for us," said Lions head coach Warren Gatland.
"It's a chance for the matchday squad to put hands up for Test selection."

Aguero's equaliser for City was his first goal since January and his 40th in the Champions League
Manchester City made a winning start to their 10th attempt at winning the Champions League after fighting back to beat Porto.
The Portuguese champions took a surprise early lead but Sergio Aguero quickly levelled from the spot and second-half goals from Ilkay Gundogan and substitute Ferran Torres gave City victory.
This was not a vintage performance from Pep Guardiola's side, who were sloppy in possession in dangerous positions, especially early on, but they were in full control by the time their opening game in Group C was over.
City had not even managed a shot at goal when they fell behind in the 14th minute, after a poor pass by Ruben Dias allowed Matheus Uribe to start a Porto attack.
Uribe found Colombian forward Luis Diaz, who was allowed to cut inside from the left and run virtually unchallenged into the City box before beating Ederson with a low shot.
City were not behind for long, however, with Aguero given the chance to equalise from the spot after Gundogan hit the post and Pepe clumsily took out Raheem Sterling as he chased the rebound.
Porto were unhappy with the decision, claiming Gundogan had stepped on goalkeeper Agustin Marchesin in the build-up, but the penalty stood and Aguero blasted home his 40th Champions League goal.
There were further chances for the visitors before the break, with Kyle Walker having to clear Sergio Oliveira's shot off the line.
But they were much less of a threat in the second half, which was when City began to exert some authority in midfield.
The chances were hardly flowing for Guardiola's men either, but Gundogan showed a touch of class to bend in his free-kick over the wall from the edge of the area and give his side the lead.
By now City were on top and Torres made certain of victory seconds after replacing Aguero, playing a neat one-two with fellow substitute Phil Foden and curling his shot home.
Aguero ends goal drought
It is only 67 days since City's defeat against Lyon in the delayed quarter-finals of last year's competition, and that disappointment must be fresh in Guardiola's mind.
His side made a sluggish start here too, but in the end he will have seen plenty to improve his mood - notably the end of Aguero's goal drought.
The prolific Argentina striker had gone 230 days without scoring before converting his penalty, the longest spell of his illustrious career.
Aguero had missed a large portion of that spell through injury, before making a return to action against Arsenal last weekend.
His fitness and form is surely key to City success, especially with their only other senior striker Gabriel Jesus sidelined, and it must be reassuring for Guardiola to see him back among the goals.
The bad news for City? Another injury
Pep Guardiola says Fernandinho could be out for four to six weeks
The only cloud for City was to see another player - substitute Fernandinho - injured and forced off himself before the end.
Fernandinho had been a particularly vocal supporter of his side from the stands during the first half but they will not want him to have to stay there for a long period.
With a busy schedule ahead, they are already without their talisman Kevin de Bruyne as well as Jesus, Nathan Ake, Benjamin Mendy and Aymeric Laporte.
Uefa regulations allow clubs to name 12 substitutes for each Champions League game, but it was telling that City had two keepers - Zack Steffen and Scott Carson - on their bench.
'We had to be patient'
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola to BT Sport: "This is a good start for us and the next step we go to France to get the second one. At set-pieces they were strong. By the second half we didn't concede anything on set-pieces or counter-attacks so we controlled the game.
"Here in the Champions League is an opportunity to play five substitutions and the ones that came on made incredible contribution. We had decided before the goal [to substitute Gundogan] but he made an incredible goal.
"We spoke about being patient, we had to be patient and at the right moment attack them, so we let them run."
What's next? A trip to France
City head for the south of France next Tuesday, 27 October, to play Marseille in their second game in Group C, at the same time as Porto entertain Olympiakos (both 20:00 GMT kick-offs).
Before then, Guardiola's side travel to London to face West Ham in the Premier League on Saturday (12:30).

Last updated on .From the section Champions League
Real Madrid shipped three first half goals in a Champions League game for the first time since September 2005 against Lyon, and the first time in a home game since February 2000 against Bayern Munich.
Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane took responsibility for "a bad night" as the 13-time European Cup winners were handed a humiliating defeat by a second-string Shakhtar Donetsk side.
The Ukrainian champions arrived in Madrid without 13 first-team players after 19 positive Covid-19 tests throughout the club left them needing to call up youth-team players.
But Luis Castro's young side were undaunted and swept into an amazing, but thoroughly warranted, 3-0 lead at Real's empty Alfredo di Stefano training ground.
Goals from Luka Modric and Vinicius Junior after the break gave Real hope, but there was no escape for the competition's most decorated side despite a dramatic finale.
Federico Valverde thought he had hit a stoppage-time leveller but after a check at the pitchside monitor referee Srdjan Jovanovic disallowed the goal for offside.
The defeat follows a shock 1-0 home defeat newly-promoted Cadiz in La Liga on Saturday.
"I did not see the team as I wanted and when you do not see the team as you wanted it is your fault," Zidane said.
"It's a bad game, a bad night. I'm the coach and it's up to me to find the solution.
"We deserve the criticism, all of us, and me first. Luckily we had a reaction in the second half because they don't deserve that, they are champions and it bothers me.
"I am responsible and I have to look for solutions because that cannot happen."
Club legend Zidane won the Champions League in each of his first three seasons in charge of Real, but his decision to rest players with next Saturday's El Clasico against Barcelona in mind was a rare, and huge, aberration.
Without captain Sergio Ramos - left in the stands with a knee injury - Real's defence was a mess and could do little to prevent Mateus Tete and Manor Solomon scoring either side of a Raphael Varane own goal.
Tellingly, Real have now lost seven of their last eight Champions League games without Ramos at the heart of their backline.
Former Tottenham midfielder Modric hit a stunning long-range strike to bring a ray of hope and, although Vinicius scored within 15 seconds of coming, on Shakhtar held on for a famous result.
"We have a match every three days. But hey, there is no excuse," Zidane said.
"These are decisions that I have made and I have to find what will lead us to become strong again and win. And I have few days."
'We're experiencing a nightmare'
Real Madrid have progressed from all 28 of their Champions League group stages - along with Leeds United (two out of two), they are the only teams to have featured in more than one group stage and progressed from every single one.
Castro was asked in his pre-match news conference whether the game should have been called off thanks to their depletion, with the former Porto boss admitting "at the moment we're experiencing a nightmare."
Instead it was a first-half dream for his fearless team which contained eight players under the age of 23. Captain Marlos had already wasted a glorious chance to put Donetsk ahead when Tete did drive past Thibaut Courtois after some woeful defending from Varane and Marcelo.
Varane then toed into his own net after Courtois failed to hold a Tete shot, and Solomon swept in a fine third after some slick one-touch play had carved Real apart.
Real sent on the rested Karim Benzema at the break and got a foothold in the game when Modric scored a wonderful goal, arrowing a 25-yarder into the top corner.
The comeback was well and truly on when Vinicius scored with his first touch, sweeping in after a defensive lapse.
Shakhtar were camped in defence but had chances to seal it on the counter, Tete twice wasting good chances and Marlos seeing a fourth ruled out for offside.
There was more offside drama to come. Valverde's shot from a short corner beat 19-year-old goalkeeper Anatolii Trubin, but Vinicius was offside, right in his eyeline and the goal was chalked off.
After a summer which saw no incoming transfers, Zidane now has work on his hands to qualify from a group which also contains Inter and Borussia Monchengladbach.
He can make more history though - as no side has won the Champions League after losing their opening game.
First time this century - the stats
Real have lost three consecutive matches in the European Cup/Champions League for the first time since September 1986.
Shakhtar are the first Ukrainian side to win against Real in the Champions League since March 1999, when Dynamo Kiev won 2-0 - before either of Shakhtar's two scorers tonight were born (Manor Solomon in July 1999 and Tete in February 2000).
Raphael Varane became the third player to score two own goals in the Champions League for Real, along with Ivan Helguera and Sergio Ramos.
Vinicius Junior scored for Real just 15 seconds after coming on as a substitute - this is the fastest substitute goal in the Champions League since 2006-07 (when Opta has collected this data).
Luka Modric became only the fourth player to score for Real in the European Cup/Champions League at the age of 35 or older, after Alfredo Di Stefano, Ferenc Puskas and Paco Gento.
Shakhtar goalkeeper Anatolii Trubin became the second youngest goalkeeper to start against Real in Champions League history (19 years 81 days), behind only Schalke's Timon Wellenreuther in February 2015 (19y 77d).
