Real Madrid ace Vinicius Junior performed a tremendous performance that will be talked about in the future.
Brazil's national striker Vinicius led his team to a 5-2 come-from-behind victory with a remarkable performance in the third game of the 2024-2025 European Champions League (UCL) League phase against Borussia Dortmund in Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid, Spain on the 23rd (Korea time).
Did he say that heroes appear in crises.
The home team Real finished the first half 0-2 with consecutive runs lost to Donil Malen and Jamie Zittens in the 30th and 34th minutes of the first half in this match, which has the nature of a return match for the UCL final in the 2023-2024 season. Dortmund manager Nurisahin's tactics, which hindered Real's rear build-up, were exactly right.
However, perhaps due to their desire to win, Dortmund replaced Zitens, the extra goal scorer, with defender Valdemar Anton in the 10th minute of the second half and entered the `Keeping Mode' early. He has the best strikers in the world Locking the door against Real, which was transplanted up to 'Champs DNA', was a major defeat as a result.
According to Vinicius' interview after the match, the atmosphere in Real's squad was very calm at half-time. Real coach Carlo Ancelotti asked the players just one thing. 'If we score one goal, we win.'
It was as he said. In the 15th minute of the second half, Real defender Antonio Rudiger scored a chase goal. Rudiger pushed a powerful header from Kylian Mbappe's cross from the right to the gate.

Immediately, the highlight of the match, 'Vinius Show', began to be played at the Santiago Bernabeu. In the 17th minute of the second half, Vinicius scored a valuable equaliser to set the stage for a comeback victory. The tackle that the opposing defender attempted to prevent Mbappe's breakthrough was the perfect assist to Vinicius. After Vinicius scored comfortably, a video reading system (VAR) was activated to check the offside. The referee admitted the score after communicating with the VAR room.
Coach Sahin hurriedly put in midfielder Pascal Gross without striker Malen, but it was not enough to reverse the atmosphere that once fell to Real's side. In the 38th minute of the second half, right back Lucas Vazquez's shot from a narrow angle to the right of the opponent's box after a bold overlap led to a reverse goal.
Vinicius widened the gap with a wonder goal in the 41st minute of the second half. He quickly crossed the sideline from the left side of his camp to the other side and turned toward the penalty arc. Then he shook the net with a right footed shot that stabbed him in the bottom right of the goal.
The Bernabeu home crowd kicked up and cheered in unison. The stadium was filled with songs from fans wishing for Vinicius's award at the Ballon d'Or. Vinicius said "When fans shout my name, dreams come true. I want to repay the fans with more goals." The 2024 Ballon d'Or Awards will be held on the 28th local time. Vinicius, who led Real to victory in the Champions League last season, is considered a strong candidate for the award. There were also reports that Vinicius's prime minister had already been confirmed.
