Seventy meters of running, ten touches of the ball and a whip with the right to complete the play, drive the Bernabéu crazy and seal a comeback in autumn with the smell of spring. <a href="https://www.archysport.com/2022/01/see-live-match-barcelona-vs-real-madrid-free-online-without-ads-spanish-super-cup-spanish-league/" title="See LIVE match Barcelona vs Real Madrid, free, online, without ads, Spanish Super Cup | Spanish League”>Vinicius woke up Madrid against Dortmund with a recital and a hat trick for his team. The last two goals were amazing. «At 4-2 he received 70 meters from the goal. When one is supposed to arrive exhausted to finish, he has the clarity and technique to place the ball close to the post. Awesome. The 5-2 score reminded me of Pelé: because of how he entered the area, because of the fake… Great,” Emilio Butragueño praised the Fluminense, who tied in the 62nd minute, scored the second in the 86th minute and sealed his hat trick in 93′.
In the first half he had put the team on his back and in the second he grew. The striker did everything in his power for Madrid to sign another one of those comebacks that no one can explain. The Bernabéu is a stadium so accustomed to heroics in recent times, that sometimes it seems like it is wishing for an opponent’s goal so that the team can catch on as it has done in the last Champions League.
«We believe in ourselves, we know that anything can happen in our house with our fans. We arrived at the locker room very quietly, we listened to the coach and we said only one thing, if we score the first we are going to come back again,” Vinicius said before the Movistar microphones, who closed his exhibition with seven shots, four of them on target.
“It’s rare to see a player do a second half like his,” said Ancelotti about the man who led Madrid from death to resurrection. The public said goodbye to him with chants of ‘Vinicius, Ballon d’Or’, which may be just five days away from becoming a reality. The forecasts indicate that next Monday the Brazilian will receive the highest individual award in the world of football at the Chatelet Theater in Paris, a gala in which he undoubtedly aims to be the protagonist.
With his goals against the German team, the striker has managed to enter the top seven scorers in Real Madrid’s history between the Champions League and the old European Cup. With 24 goals in 59 games, he is only surpassed by Paco Gento (31), Ferenc Puskás (34), Di Stéfano (49), Raúl (66), Benzema (78) and Cristiano Ronaldo (105). So far this season he has already scored 8 goals and 7 assists. During the last four seasons, no one has been as decisive as the Brazilian: the former Flamengo player has scored 37 goals (20 goals and 17 assists), compared to Mbappé’s 32 (9/23), Lewandowski’s 27 (4/23 ) or Haaland’s 26 (4/22).
