23:08 – The summary

Another crazy night at the Bernabeu, a most memorable scenario for this Real of Ancelotti who never ceases to dazzle us. Real did Real but in even greater proportions and we say to ourselves tonight that Kylian Mbappé was finally able to experience European emotions full of magic and filled with hopes of the final consecration. He could thank his friend Vinicius who offered a score worthy of a Ballon d'Or to almost overturn Borussia Dortmund (5-2) after a first half that was totally in favor of the Germans.

Apart from a double opportunity in the 36th minute with shots from Rodrygo and Bellingham hitting the posts, Real offered nothing to their fans in the first half against a much more daring, organized and efficient Borussia in front of goal. The title holder was punished by two goals in the space of four minutes through Malen (30th) and Gittens (34th). Real Madrid were underwater at half-time, and no one could cry foul.

But the show, the demonstration and the work of magic were planned for the second act. We do not yet know what springs Ancelotti pressed to wake up his troops at half-time, but his team was completely transformed after the break. A shower of opportunities fell on poor Kobel's goal with no less than five Madrid goals, three of which came from Vinicius alone (62nd, 86th, 93rd). As the Ballon d'Or ceremony approaches, the Brazilian has perhaps proven to the world that he is perhaps the best player in the world. His last two goals are all his own, with breakthroughs, dribbles and strikes that made opposing defenders look like juniors. It was a magnificent show offered to the public at the Casa Blanca who went through all the emotions this evening. Mbappé for his part did not score but had the merit of sounding the revolt by offering the decisive pass for Rudiger on the first goal (60th). The third goal was scored by Lucas Vazquez, promoted captain after the exit of Modric (83rd), who should often have the opportunity to shine this season in the absence of Carvajal.

Of course, Ancelotti has still not been reassured on the defensive level, but the individual qualities of his elements, the talent of some, the guts and the revolt of others, should allow his team to reverse a lot of difficult situations. This is what makes the mark of the greats and Vinicius is the perfect example tonight.

It's over! What a match with this incredible scenario between Real and Borussia. The Madrilenians reacted perfectly after a transparent first half to win by 5 goals to two against Borussia thanks to an absolutely stratospheric Vinicius, author of a hat-trick.

Yet another personal feat a few days before the Ballon d'Or, Vincius goes to score his third goal and Real's fifth by ridiculing the opposing defense. What a spectacle the Brazilian put on in this second half. 5-2 for Real
