Trailing 0-2 for an hour on Tuesday evening against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, Real Madrid turned the situation around to win (5-2). With style!
With a victory and a defeat on the clock after two days, Real Madrid had to move forward. The task did not look easy on Tuesday evening since Carlo Ancelotti’s men were opposed to Borussia Dortmund, their opponent in the last C1 final. For a long time, the BvB seemed able to take revenge, but the awakening of the Merengue literally blew them up (5-2). Author of a hat-trick, Vinicius Junior will have shone at the right time.
The public at the Santiago Bernabeu experienced a more than frustrating first period. A splendid spectacle, huge shots and chances from both sides, but no goal for Real Madrid. On the other hand, Dortmund found the net twice, first thanks to Donyell Malen (30th), then by Jamie Gitten (0-2, 34th). Opposite, Madrid hit the opposing posts twice, but returned to the locker room two goals behind.
Vinicius Junior scores a hat-trick
Nothing changed until the hour mark, the moment chosen by Antonio Rüdiger to break the opposition’s barrier (1-2, 60th). The start of a deluge of Madrid goals and a terrible shipwreck for Borussen suddenly reduced to the state of blocks. And Vinicius Junior also started his festival with a hat-trick on the menu (62nd, 86th and 90th+3). Enough to just leave room for Lucas Vazquez to also do his part (83rd). Delirium in the aisles of the Bernabeu.
Kylian Mbappé did not score, but he tried a lot and it was he who provided the decisive pass on Rüdiger’s precious goal. This success (5-2) allows Real Madrid to climb to provisional ninth place in the standings. Leader before the start of this day, Borussia fell to fifth place with the same number of points as the Merengue, but a better goal difference. At the start of November, Real will host AC Milan while BvB will host Sturm Graz.
