Dortmund were ahead by two goals at 60 minutes before Vinicius netted thrice to help seal an amazing 5-2 comeback win over the German side.
According to realmadrid.com, in his post-victory comments, Vinicius said: “We believe in ourselves. We’re at our home, in front of our fans, and anything is possible. When we came into the dressing room at half-time we were all very quiet and we just listened to the gaffer. He just told us one thing, that if we got the first goal, we’d make the comeback again. We managed to do it again thanks to the fans and the team, who really gave it their all. But we have to improve and play like this from the off, otherwise the coach won’t be able to take it.”
“We’re looking into how to play and the boss always finds ways to make games easier for us. In the second half we didn’t only switch the formation, but also the dynamics and how we were playing. This is our competition and we want to win it again.”.
