Real Madrid fans have spotted what Vinicius Junior said after scoring against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.
On Tuesday night, the reigning European champions faced Dortmund at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in a rematch of last season’s final.
The visitors, coached by former Madrid player Nuri Sahin, started strong, taking a 2-0 lead within 34 minutes with goals from Donyell Malen and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens.
However, Madrid equalized in the second half, with Antonio Rudiger and Vinicius Junior scoring in quick succession.
As Madrid pushed for a winner, they encountered a resilient Dortmund defense, but Lucas Vazquez found the net from a tight angle in the 83rd minute to make it 3-2.
Vinicius then showcased his talent, scoring a brilliant solo goal just four minutes later to extend the lead to 4-2. Fans noted him shouting “Estoy aqui,” meaning “I’m here.”
He capped off his performance with a hat-trick, scoring again in stoppage time to finish at 5-2.
This victory moved Madrid up to ninth in the Champions League standings, now with six points from three matches, while Carlo Ancelotti’s team sits three points behind leaders Aston Villa, who topped the table after defeating Bologna 2-0.
Aston Villa has had an impressive return to the Champions League, winning against BSC Young Boys, Bayern Munich, and Bologna without conceding a goal. Meanwhile, Arsenal secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk at the Emirates.
