Kylian Mbappé He already knows what it’s like to score with Real Madrid in the Champions League. He was presented brilliantly during the European Nights at the Santiago Bernabéu. Goal and victory for the Whites against Stuttgart (3-1). Of course, suffering… and a lot of it. Because the Germans equalized the duel and converted Thibaut Courtois at one of the party men’s house. But it was there Rudiger to confirm the victory… and Endrick with his goal in added time.
Stuttgart’s first wave was total. He deserved the goal. He didn’t find it. Courtois had two incredible hands and the crossbar also helped the whites. As the minutes went by, Madrid improved. Always with Mbappé shining on the left side.
Two games with the Frenchman’s bike and a shot from the goalkeeper Nubel was able to free himself. Rodrygo He was also very active on the right side. The Brazilian wanted to justify himself again.
VAR warned the referee that Rudiger’s fall, marked as a penalty, was nothing. It is surprising that the opening match ended in a goalless draw with so many chances in both areas.
Carvajal recovered his right side with the entry of Lucas Vazquez’s Militao. Ancelotti didn’t want any problems. And as soon as I got back, the game happened. Kylian first in white at the Bernabéu in this magical competition. Rodrygo ran into space and the Frenchman only had to push him into a small area.
The game opened up and Madrid then enjoyed it. With spaces their attackers smile. They run. They threaten their rivals. The crossbar repelled the long-range shot of Vinicius. And Courtois once again took out his glove so that the tie would not end. Stuttgart continued to threaten, always ready to attack.
German painting won a prize. The ball fell to the far post and he beat a Undav delivered. Stuttgart equalized. They deserved the goal.
But Madrid, in the Champions League, does not know what it means to give up. Rudiger scored with a header. When the attacking game doesn’t work, set pieces are good. And also counter. Endrick again. A brutal shot from very far away. That’s how Madrid won their first victory in this edition of the Champions League. The champion’s title defense.
