Steel Real Madridwas imposed with her epic overthrow Dortmund at the “Bernabeu”!
Despite going to the dressing room at the end of the first half trailing 2-0 in the remake of last year’s Champions League final, the “Queen” turned the nightmare into a triumph as they finally managed to celebrate the victory with the imposing 5-2 (!), having in an excellent evening the Viniciuswho did hat trick and he was her absolute protagonist!
Thus, the Real returned in an emphatic way to victories, after its unexpected defeat in the previous game against Lille, a few days before the “Clasico” and while for the next game of the Champions League it will host Milan.
On the other hand, Dortmund trashed their excellent first half, suffering their first defeat in this year’s competition. For the next matchday, he will face Sturm Graz at home.
The match:
The match began with Dortmund creating the first final effort in the 6th minute, when Courtois comfortably blocked an effort from Girassi, while Real responded in the 8th minute, with a powerful shot from Mbappe, who was unmarked in the box after from Modric’s free kick, to counter and take a corner.
The home team had more of the ball in their possession, but did not often find ways to effectively threaten Kobel’s goal, while the visitors defended well, trying to threaten with their quick counter-attacks.
In the end, it was Dortmund who opened the scoring by “freezing” the “Bernabeu” in the 30th minute, when after a period of time in Real’s box, Girassi provided the assist and Mullen sent the ball into the net with a flawless placement. In fact, the composure for the “queen” became even greater four minutes later (34′), when Mullen went from scorer to creator, serving a ready goal with a perfect turn to Gittens, who had no difficulty “writing” the 0-2 with projection!
Real then hit back, missing huge chances to get back into the game. Initially, Bellingham couldn’t beat Kobel with a header from close range after a great ball from Vinicius, while in the 36th minute Rodrigo and Bellingham sent the ball over the visitors’ crossbar twice in just a few seconds! However, it was Dortmund who created the last chance to score in the first half, with Courtois making a stunning save from Brandt’s volley.
The second half began with Real suffocating the Dortmund defence, but Cobel had an answer to efforts from Vasquez and Vinicius in the 53rd minute, while Mullen tested Courtois’ reflexes in the 56th minute. Finally, Real translated their supremacy into goals in the 60th minute, when after Mbappe’s cross, Rudiger made it 1-2 with a strong header, while three minutes later the “queen” found a second goal, with Modric making the vertical pass and with Vinicius taking advantage of the counters, equalizing at 2-2!
With morale high and with the help of their crowd, Real continued to press in search of a complete upset, coming very close to their third goal in the 80th minute when Mbappe produced a terrific individual effort, but was unable to beat the steady as throughout the match, Kobel.
Finally, the total reversal came in the 83rd minute, with Lucas Bathketh beating the visitors’ goalkeeper from a very lateral position, and while seconds earlier Courtois had said “no” to Brad, while Vinicius with two more of his own and of incredible beauty goals, in 86′ and 90’+3′, completed his team’s triumph with a hat-trick!
