Real, who lost their opening Group B game against Shakhtar Donetsk last week, were down 2-0 by the 58th minute thanks to a Marcus Thuram brace.
However, Karim Benzema pulled a goal back for the Spanish champions in the 87th minute and Casemiro completed the dramatic comeback with a strike of his own in stoppage time.

The draw gives Real just one point in the group, three behind first-placed Shakhtar who drew with Inter Milan on Tuesday.
Zinedine Zidane's side will next host Inter on Nov. 3 in what will be a crucial match for their hopes of reaching the round of 16. Borussia Monchengladbach will visit Shakhtar that same day.
