Real Madrid fell 0-2 at home against Borussia Dortmund, and with a spectacular second half led by Vinícius who scored a hat trick, came back and scored.
Real Madrid and the Champions League are one and the same. On another magical night at the Bernabéu, they beat Borussia Dortmund 5-2 despite being down 0-2.
It was an even first half until the 30th minute, without a clear dominator or obvious scoring opportunities, until the German team showed precision and forcefulness.
First, Donyell Malen finished a great team move with a powerful shot to beat Courtois, and four minutes later Jamie Gittens arrived in time to close the tie and make it 0-2 (34′) that silenced the Santiago Bernabéu.
The meringues tried to react immediately, but incredibly Jude Bellingham missed the discount in front of the goal by shooting against the crossbar and the ball, capricious, refused to go in when it hit the goal line.
SECOND TIME
In the complement the story was totally different. It is well known that Real Madrid should never be considered dead, especially in its competition, the Champions League.
The second half started with a white monologue until the discount fell through a header from Rüdiger after a cross from Mbappé (60′).
Just two minutes later (62′) Vinícius found himself with a gift from the Dortmund defense that swept to dispossess Mbappé, and the Brazilian made it 2-2. The action was reviewed but there was no offside.
The Vinícius show was missing. First Lucas Vázquez made the comeback and unleashed the madness, so that later the Brazilian with two starts full of power sealed his triplet and a spectacular 5-2.
Madrid is ready for next Saturday’s Clásico against Barcelona after performing in the Champions League where they have two wins and one loss.
