Vinicius Jr netted a hat-trick as Real Madrid staged a remarkable second-half comeback, overturning a 2-0 deficit to defeat Borussia Dortmund 5-2.
Dortmund took a comfortable lead before halftime with goals from Donyell Malen and Jamie Gittens, mirroring last year’s final in which Real won 2-0.
Antonio Rudiger sparked the comeback with a powerful header in the 60th minute, followed by Vinicius Jr’s equalizer just two minutes later.
Captain Lucas Vazquez put Madrid ahead with a precise finish in the 83rd minute. Vinicius Jr then sealed the win with two late solo efforts, securing the victory for the Spanish side.
