Vinicitus throws himself.over a yard away from player. Ref books dortmund for protesting. Starting to look fixed now.
Man throws himself down. Lino flags madly. Dortmund player then reacts and is books They now have 3? Yellows Real should be down to 10 and camavinga should at least have a card. Mean time that adeyemi has missed two sitters.
That's the half. Exciting 0-0 with the oar of inevitable robbery to it. Dortmund have only themselves to blame so far. They've fallen for the diving and cheating and taken needless yellows. The lino left the flag down twice imo deliberately and dortmund missed both so no var to confirm they were off. Adeyemi should shoot the first bit knocks it 5 miles wide around courtois then has no shot. He then fails to see contact coming and let's camavinga hit him.off the ball with shoulder. Vinicitus junior contact on keeper was slight but he did flip him so a yellow was inevitable but the dive on the sideline was disgracefully poor and the ref missed it. No contact and no chance of contact by a full yard.
He wasn't wrong, Vini was entitled to go for it. The fact he was late and it was a foul on the keeper doesn't change that
Excellent first half. Only negative would be the blatant dive by Vini should have been a second yellow for him. Courtois looks very shaky (obviously because he's hardly played this season)
Carvahal gets a check. Drops and holds face. Adeyemi offers him a hand and carvalahl smacks it away. Minimum yellow and in theory a reaction and a red. (A poor red mind you) Disgraceful cheating.and unsportsmanlike conduct.
Maatsen wins it clean off a shocker ball and it just falls into real box to be cleared and ref then waves advantage to real. Bellingham then flops up the other end. No issue free. Another shot right at the keeper by dortmund. They put everything in here.
He can't run any more than Kroos. Junior should be off here and he's coming I to this as the legs tire around him.
It's now 4 dortmund defenders on their own. The second dortmund concede the heads and shape have gone
It was a good game. Lots of drama bit the ref was so poor for the level and the security at the start was an absolute joke. After that dortmund can only have themselves to blame as their chances fell to lads to totally messed them up while real dug in as usual and finally took one. Dortmund lost the heads the second thst one went in
Madrid just know how to win it. Shame really, Dortmund needed to score when on top. Madrid going to have some team over next few years though. Maybe some work to do on defence but midfield and forward of Valverde tchoumeni camavinga bellingham mbappe vini rodrygo ebdrick
