The course of the match
First round
Acting as a guest team, Real Madrid managed to control the game. Instead, Borussia Monchengladbach chose to wait for the opponent to make a mistake in order to design a lightning counterattack.
Real Madrid had the first chance in the 16th minute. A lateral shot by Lucas Vásquez found Karim Benzema. Unfortunately, the French forward’s shot still fired from Yann Sommer’s goal. Sergio Ramos’ header five minutes later also went wide.

Behind the 0-1, Real Madrid started immediately at the start of the second half. Raphael Varane’s shot in the 46th minute hit Yann Sommer’s crossbar. Four minutes later, Vinicius Jr’s turn shot from inside the penalty area that was still on its side.
