Real Madrid secured a decisive 5-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund, despite falling behind twice in the match, including a 0-2 deficit at halftime. The team staged a remarkable comeback in the second half after a lackluster first half.
Lucas Vazquez struggled during the first 45 minutes, displaying inaccuracies and poor positioning that contributed to Dortmund’s early lead. He later expressed regret over his performance, saying, “I feel bad; my mistakes were…” Acknowledging his errors, he received encouragement from Ancelotti, who inspired him to excel in the second half. Vazquez ultimately scored the pivotal third goal that shifted the momentum in Real Madrid’s favor.
Ancelotti wasn’t alone in uplifting the team; all the players supported one another, leading to a clear shift in attitude and intensity in the second half. After the match, the players acknowledged this transformation, attributing it to Ancelotti’s halftime speech.
Additionally, the newspaper reported that Perez congratulated Vinicius and then approached Lucas, telling him, “The second half showcased your strong character and ability to handle pressure.” He urged Lucas to maintain his focus, especially during the crucial upcoming period that will significantly impact Real Madrid’s season.
Real Madrid secured a 5-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund, overcoming an early two-goal deficit after trailing 0-2 at halftime. Vinicius Junior, who scored a hat-trick in the match, expressed his commitment to the club, stating, “I want to be here forever and achieve a lot for this team that has given me everything.”
Vinicius delivered one of his standout performances for Real Madrid, particularly impressing club president Florentino Pérez. The team entered the match eager for three points, but Dortmund initially took control with their two-goal lead. This motivated Vinicius, who emerged in the second half determined to make an impact, ultimately leading the team with his hat-trick.
Pérez praised Vinicius, calling his performance “incredible” and suggesting he deserves the Ballon d’Or. After the match, he embraced Vinicius and hailed him as the best player in the world, which reportedly frustrated Kylian Mbappé, who might find himself overshadowed at the club.
Vinicius has firmly established himself among the elite players globally, and on October 28, he is set to receive the Ballon d’Or. Pérez reiterated his confidence in Vinicius’s future at the club, stating, “He will stay here for the rest of his career; he is young and has a long future ahead at Real Madrid.”
