The Real Madrid has begun his way in the UEFA Champions League 2023-24 in front of a debutante like the Union Berlin, although the party has complicated him to the merengues as if it treated of a clash in front of one of the most experienced teams of all the continent. Besides, the ones of Carlo Ancelotti left in evidence again that the absence of Vinicius is surely the gravest of all the absences that has the staff madridista in this start of course.

Without the Brazilian forward, in addition to the already known injuries of Militao and Courtois, the Madrid began the party in front of the Germans with a little aggressive disposal and trying build game to a rhythm that was too slow to surprise to the visitors. As it expected the ones of Berlin tried to close spaces near of his area and allowed that the whites had the balloon all what wanted to, as long as it was far of his goal.

Party to forget in the first 45 minutes

In this history passed the first time, leaving like notable actions a pair of head butts of Joselu, one to centre of Lucas Vázquez and another of Bellingham, in addition to a strong entrance of Tchouameni on Kral, quien a pair of minutes afterwards had to ask be attended. The French saw the yellow card and with this played as more notable finished finalising the first time of the party.

The second half began with more doubts that certainties for the ones of Ancelotti and seems that precisely by this situation the posture madridista changed radically. After a first approach of the Union Berlin to the 48', the Madrid accelerated in his rhythm, moved lines and Rodrygo finally woke up to the fans of Santiago Bernabéu with a triple action. First it tried to define in front of the goalkeeper after a habilitation of Lucas Vázquez by the right and in front of the rebound of the guardameta arrived him a back centre and his volley finished hitting in the left stick.

The hope of the madridistas finally concretised

That action, that finished with a finish diverted from the edge of the area by part of Camavinga, changed the course of the party. Lyou following minutes of the meeting would have to the madridistas 'bending' the field to look for the first goal of the duel, although without success by more than looked for it. With the formula to hang centres to Joselu, and try find to Bellingham of backs to the goal or some played of Rodrygo, the Madrid dumped during more than 20 minutes.

To the 62' the '9' Spanish hit the second balloon in the way of the merengues after a very good finish of head to the long stick of the guardameta of the team of Berlin. In a tonic similar followed the last 20 minutes of party and the feat madridista in the last minutes were the only hope... And it arrived. Already when the party reached the minute 94 appeared a finish from very far of Fede Valverde and after a pair of rebounds the balloon would finish arriving to Jude Bellingham that seems 'blessed'.
