Real Madrid fought back from two goals down as Vinícius Júnior bagged a hat-trick in a thrilling 5-2 win over visitors Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday.

In a repeat of last season’s final, Dortmund turned the match on with a two-goal blitz around the half-hour mark from Donyell Malen and Jamie Gittens to silence the Bernabeu crowd.

However, the champions were livelier after the break, breaking Dortmund’s resistance with Antonio Rüdiger’s header on the hour before Vinícius equalized with a close-range shot.

Lucas Vázquez put Real ahead in the 83rd with an unstoppable charge after a counter-attack and Vinicius, with two wonderful pieces of individual brilliance, rounded off the win to leave his side level on points with Dortmund with six points from three games.
