Champions League Tuesday review: Vinícius Jr. nets hat-trick as Real Madrid makes stunning comeback over Borussia Dortmund

There is just something about Real Madrid and the Champions League. No matter the opposition, no matter the situation, the Spanish giant usually finds a way to win.

That was the case yet again on Tuesday as Los Blancos rallied from two goals down to win 5-2 against Borussia Dortmund, inspired by the brilliant Vinícius Jr.

In a rematch of last year’s final, Donyell Malen and Jamie Gittens had given Dortmund a seemingly comfortable 2-0 lead at half-time, but Madrid emerged a different outfit after the break.

“We spoke calmly about how to change things in the second half. I switched the system and the team brought more intensity,” Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti told reporters after the game.

“We were too timid in the first half, we didn’t press and allowed them to control it. They get two relatively simple goals and it was obvious what we needed to do. The team did a great job in the second half. This second half was our best of the season.”

Despite all the attacking talent at its disposal, it was defender Antonio Rüdiger who got the comeback underway – scoring a 60th minute header from Kylian Mbappé’s cross.

The goal sent fans inside the Santiago Bernabéu into a frenzy as Madrid began to click into action.

Just two minutes later and Los Merengues were level as Vinícius tapped in from close range to score his first of the match.

With the score tied, the match sprung into life and both sides had chances to go ahead. Eventually, though, it was the host which found the breakthrough when captain Lucas Vázquez fired a shot into the roof of the net from a tight angle.

Despite taking the lead, Madrid – and more importantly Vinícius – wasn’t done. With the game stretched, the Brazilian scored the best goal of the night.

He picked up a loose ball from deep in his own half before driving the length of the pitch and curling a perfect finish into the corner of the net. It was a goal that underlined his credentials ahead of the Ballon d’Or vote on Monday.

The 24-year-old then completed his hat-trick with another fine goal, confusing the Dortmund defenders with dazzling footwork before firing a shot past the goalkeeper.

“He’ll win the Ballon d’Or, but not for what he did tonight, rather what he did throughout last year, in helping us win the Champions League,” Ancelotti said, praising Vinícius’ performance.

“These three goals will help him towards the next Ballon d’Or.”

Villa remains unbeaten

Elsewhere, Aston Villa maintained its perfect start to the Champions League campaign.

Having already seen off Young Boys and Bayern Munich, the English Premier League side beat Bologna 2-0 on Tuesday to move top of the table.

Captain John McGinn got proceedings underway with a slightly fortunate free-kick in the 55th minute, before striker Jhon Durán completed the victory with a well-taken goal inside a frenzied Villa Park stadium.
