Real Madrid overcome Dortmund resilience
Entering the match against this season’s top-scoring team, Real Madrid were still recovering from a shock loss to Lille.
Defensive struggles saw Donyell Malen open the scoring just after the half-hour mark, with Jamie Gittens doubling Dortmund's lead four minutes later.
The momentum shifted dramatically in the second half, led by 2024 Ballon d'Or favourite Vinicius Junior. Antonio Rudiger and Vinicius netted two quick goals around the hour mark to level the score.
Lucas Vazquez completed the comeback in the 83rd minute, before Vinicius secured the win with two more goals, completing his hat-trick in a stunning 5-2 victory, per Sports Mole.
