Real Madrid wrote a new line in the extensive tale of their European groves with a 5-2 comeback against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday on the 3rd date of the Champions League.
The reigning European champion, who lost 2-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu when the match time was about to be fulfilled, ended up winning 5-2 to the team he had already defeated in the final of the last Champions League.
Tuesday’s three points allow the white group, which came from losing in Lille (1-0) the previous day, to be close to the positions that grant the direct classification to the eighth final (1st to 8th), while the teams between 9 and 24th will have to go through a playoff.

The goals in the first part of Dutch striker Donyell Malen (30) passes from Guinean striker Serhou Guirassy, and the promising Englishman Bynoe-Gittens (34) seemed to serve the men led by ex-madridist Nuri Sahin to put a bandage to the wound that was in purging since defeat in the final of the previous Champions League against the white ensemble (2-0).
Vini is running for the Golden Ball
But Carlo Ancelotti’s team signed five goals in just over half an hour to the delusion of a Bernabeu audience that showed no signs of believing Antonio Rudiger in the head (60), Lucas Vazquez from right-hand crossed to the squad (62), and a triplet of Vinicius, the first of his account in the Champions, which combined speed, overflow, and shot (62, 86, 93).
“We know that when we are in our house with our hobby it can happen from everything, when we arrive at the locker room, everyone is very quiet, and only the mister was heard, we said one thing, if we mark the first one we will go back again,” Vinicius said on the field foot for Movistar.
But the white giant with 15 Ores, in its showcases, had been a shadow of itself the first time. Borussia, effective and supportive, dreamed of the conquest of the white fiefdom, but like so many other teams before them, he suffered the mystique of the Bernabeu on Champions nights, while the public chanted how I won’t love you or Madrid wins.
Although he did not see a door, French striker Kylian Mbappe also played a prominent role despite the rape allegations that weigh on him in the Swedish press after a recent trip to Stockholm. His was the center measured to the testa de R.diguer that served the locals to get into the game.
Continue to evolve
The man of the match was Vinicius, who claimed to be the Golden Ball, which will be delivered next Monday in Paris.
I see growing every game, every year because I’m only 24 years old. “I got very young and I was able to learn from the best players, from the best people as well, and that has made me a better man, a better player, and I want to continue evolving for a lot longer,” Vini told TNT Sports Brazil.
A few years ago, in an interview, I said I would like all Brazilians to support me. “I hope they can do it on Monday,” he added.
Real Madrid also enjoyed two finishes to the long in the first half by Bellingham and Rodrygo (37).
The group of the Ruhr basin, which reached the capital of Spain with two victories in this Champions, is left with the same six points as Real Madrid, which faces confidence in the clouds during the classic of Sunday against FC Barcelona.
