Real is never beaten! Trailing 2-0 at half-time at the Bernabeu, the Merengue overthrew Kobel’s Borussia Dortmund from the hour mark to win 5-2 on the 3rd day of the Champions League.
The Madrid public, however, accompanied the return to the locker room of their favorites with whistles, trailing 2-0 at half-time after goals from Malen (30th) and Gittens (34th). Courtois even made a decisive save in the 39th minute on a tense shot from Brandt.
Saved twice by his posts in the space of a few seconds in the 38th and author of a decisive tap in the process, Kobel was able to believe in his star for a long time. But the goalkeeper of the Swiss team and his defense could do nothing against Madrid’s fury in the second period.
Rüdiger and Vinicius allowed Real to equalize by scoring twice in two minutes (60th and 62nd). The wind had turned. The BVB even cracked, Vinicius scoring a hat-trick (86th 4-2, 93rd 5-2). This success allows the Madrilenians to come back to match their opponents of the day with two successes in three matches.
3 out of 3 for Aston Villa
Easy winner of Young Boys at the opening of this league phase, Aston Villa for their part picked up their third success in as many outings. Unai Emery’s players won 2-0 against Bologna, who fielded Ndoye and Freuler but not Aebischer (injured).
No three out of three on the other hand for Juventus, beaten 1-0 in Turin by Rieder’s VfB Stuttgart following a success from Touré in the 92nd minute, while the Old Lady was reduced to 10. PSG also suffered at home but was able to snatch a point against PSV Eindhoven (1-1).
