Vinícius Júnior had a hat trick and Real Madrid stunned Borussia Dortmund with a 5–2 victory in a rematch of last season’s UEFA Champions League final.
The Germans took the lead in the first half on two goals, four minutes apart. First, Donyell Malen took a short, nifty pass from Serhou Guirassy in the center of the penalty area and fired the ball past Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in the 30th minute. Then, Malen set up the second goal when he slotted a pass across the penalty area to Jamie Gittens, who scored from close range.
