MADRID TO STUN DORTMUND WITH MEMORABLE COMEBACK WIN

Vinicius Junior hit a brilliant hat-trick as Real Madrid stunned Borussia Dortmund with a five-goal second-half blitz to come from two down and win 5-2 at the Bernabeu.

In a repeat of the 2024 UEFA Champions League final, the defending champions Real were in trouble at the interval after goals from Donyell Malen and Jamie Gittens had put Dortmund two up after an entertaining first half.

But Real Madrid came flying out of the blocks in the second half, keen to avoid what would have been a second defeat in three matches in this year’s competition.

Two goals in two minutes, just after the hour mark, from Antonio Rudiger and Vinicius saw the scores levelled.

And Lucas Vazquez completed the comeback in the 83rd minute after a dominant second-half display from the Spanish side.

Two outstanding late goals from Vinicius to complete his hat-trick made the game completely safe after one of the most impressive 45-minute displays of the season.

Vinicius Junior is favourite to win the Ballon d’Or. And his hat-trick tonight underlined why he is rated by many as the best player in the world right now.

TNT’s own Rio Ferdinand certainly agrees.

GOAL! REAL MADRID 5-2 BORUSSIA DORTMUND (VINICIUS)

That’s the hat-trick and it’s brilliant from Vinicius. Real Madrid win the ball back in midfield and feed Vinicius. He gets the favour of a deflection back into his path as he surges through the Dortmund defence towards the box, but he’s a player who needs no helping hand, and he takes advantage, skipping into space with a stepover before lashing a shot into the roof of the net. What a performance, what a player!

Guler and Ceballos come on late on, with Bellingham and Mbappe making way. Neither player had the best games of their careers, but they certainly played their part in this stunning comeback.

GOAL! REAL MADRID 4-2 BORUSSIA DORTMUND (VINICIUS)

Wow! That is the clear goal of the evening by the favourite to win the Ballon d’Or. Vinicius Junior picked up the ball deep in his own half, but at full pace there are few who can catch him and he surged forward into the Dortmund half before cutting inside past a helpless Sule, ending his run with a brilliant finish from the edge of the box. Simply sublime. 4-2!

Rodrygo does well to keep the ball in and looks to pull it back to Mbappe outside the box. His pass is blocked off, but the deflected ball is perfect for Lucas Vazquez to run on to, and he bursts past the covering defender and lashes a shot home from a tight angle. The celebrations are huge – what a turnaround it’s been! 3-2.

Out of nowhere Dortmund almost retake the lead. They’ve created very little in this second half, but break and work the ball to Beier, who draws an outstanding save out of Courtois.

Real are camped in the Dortmund have, and a wonderful pass from Camavinga finds Mbappe, who drills in a shot at the near post that Kobel saves.

There’s an opportunity for Mbappe to pull the trigger from the edge of the box and he does, sending it straight at the keeper. He was looking for some whip on that, but snatched at the chance slightly.

Vinicius is fizzing and he gets effectively rugby tackled by Ryerson near the byline. The Dortmund man is not happy, but I’m not sure why, you don’t get much clearer a foul than that.

Two players go down in the Dortmund box as a cross sails over everyone’s heads, and the referee briefly pauses the restart as VAR checks it. But there’s nothing doing.

GOAL! REAL MADRID 2-2 BORUSSIA DORTMUND (VINICIUS)

Real Madrid have turned this game on its head and the Bernabeu is bouncing. Mbappe is slid through on goal and superbly tackled, but the loose ball runs straight to Vinicius Junior, who shoots home into an empty net. The goal is initially ruled out for an offside on Mbappe, but that wasn’t the right call and it’s 2-2. The Madrid players punch the air to whip the crowd into an even more fervent atmosphere. Stunning.
