Rome - Lazio held nine-time champion Real Madrid to a 2-2 draw on Wednesday in the Roman team's first Champions League game at home in four years.
Ruud van Nistelrooy scored two goals for Madrid, but Goran Pandev equalised each time for Lazio.
Van Nistelrooy, who had missed two games with a calf strain, scored in the eighth and 61st minutes to give him 56 goals in 75 European matches. Pandev answered in the 32nd and 75th.
Van Nistelrooy received the ball all alone behind Lazio's defence and had only Ballotta to beat for his second goal, but Pandev equalized from the edge of the area.
Madrid have four points in Group C and Lazio have two.
