Vinicius shone in Real Madrid's crazy comeback

Borussia Dortmund seemed to take revenge after the loss against Real Madrid in the Champions League final in June. But the Spanish giant turned around and won with 5–2 – after a hat-trick from Vinicius Junior.

It started so well for Dortmund.

In the 30th minute, Donyell Malen received a fine pass and had an opening in the penalty area, which allowed him to score 1-0 behind Thibaut Courtois. Four minutes later, he played forward to Jamie Gittens, who scored 2-0.

A setup for a yellow-colored upset in the Spanish capital? Not.

For Real Madrid did what Real Madrid usually does when it comes to the Champions League. Namely, winning football matches.

The powerful turnaround began in the 60th minute when Antonio Rüdiger – once a youth player in Dortmund – stepped forward and headed in a reduction. Shortly after, Vinicius Junior, who also scored in the Champions League final, became a goalscorer when he equalized.

And it didn't end there.

Lucas Vázquez thundered in 3-2 before Vinicius then placed his second and third goals of the evening.

5-2 and a very strong turnaround for the most champions and reigning champions Real Madrid. On Saturday, a rivalry match against Barcelona in the Spanish league awaits.
