Vinicius treble downs Dortmund in Madrid comeback win

MADRID — Vinicius Junior scored a sublime hat-trick as Champions League holder Real Madrid came back from two goals down to hammer Borussia Dortmund 5-2 on Tuesday.

After a shock stumble at Lille in its previous European match, Madrid crushed Dortmund, in a repeat of last season's final, with a superb second half display.

Carlo Ancelotti's side claimed a record-extending 15th Champions League crown at Wembley and, as in that match, struggled in the first half against the Bundesliga side, which went two goals up through Donyell Malen and Jamie Gittens.
