“Borussia Dortmund” had no business harassing “Real”, and in the middle of Madrid.
In a repeat of last season’s Champions League final, the Spanish giants showed what power they have if they are upset at their Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
The guests from Germany, with a very decent game, pulled 2:0 to the break, while the home team was rather napping. I’m excluding one situation where they hit 2 beams within seconds.
This happened after the second goal of the “yellow-black” by Baino-Gitens in the 34th minute. Shortly before that, Malen had discovered the result.
After the break, clearly annoyed by their coach Carlo Ancelotti, the European champions held a penalty action and in 33 minutes knocked out “Borussia” – 5:2.
The top candidate for the “Golden Ball” Vinicius may have already gained a huge lead over his competitors with a hat trick (62, 86, 93). Rüdiger (60) and Vasquez (83) were also on target.
So “Real” warmed up and pumped up their confidence, which is still not lacking, before the derby with “Barcelona” from the Primera Division on Saturday. It’s back at the Bernabeu.
