After trailing for a while, Real Madrid were able to win the Champions League, their 200th in this format of the competition. Weah opened the scoring for the visitors (22'), before Mbappé equalised from the penalty spot (28'). After the break, Xabi Alonso's men hit the woodwork for a second time. Then, the meeting got out of hand. Despite the sending off of Carvajal (71'), our team turned the tide to win at the Bernabéu. Mbappé, again from the penalty spot, gave the lead (81'), reached 50 goals with Real and validated a fifth victory in as many official matches played this season.

From the kick-off, Real Madrid showed a very enterprising face. After barely ten minutes, he had already created many chances. Mbappé, with a volley, missed the target by a few centimetres (2'). A few moments later, Mastantuono stole the ball from the feet of Medina on the right side, entered the box and got the better of Rulli in a one-on-one, but his ball hit the post (6'). The hot situations followed one another and Rodrygo, with a shot from the middle, found the gloves of the opposing goalkeeper (9'). In the aftermath, the latter intervened in front of Mbappé. The Frenchman got rid of Pavard and fired a shot that Rulli saved (10').


The pace of the match remains very high and Marseille responds. After getting rid of Carvajal, who had just come on in place of Trent (5'), Weah followed up with a powerful shot that grazed the crossbar (14'). The Marseille striker did not miss the boat a few minutes later and beat Courtois (22'). Rodrygo was the first to react and caused a penalty by being brought down by Kondogbia in the box. Mbappé equalized from eleven meters (28').

Chances in spades
The ball continued to go from one side to the other, with Xabi Alonso's men creating the vast majority of chances. Tchouameni was the next to try his luck, with a shot that Rulli brilliantly saved (30'). Marseille responded with a long ball from their goalkeeper that Aubameyang took in, who sent his shot into the side netting of Courtois (39'). In the continuation, Tchouameni quickly recovered the ball and found Mbappé, whose shot was once again deflected by Rulli, the man of the first half. Finally, in added time, on a sumptuous pass from Mbappé, Mastantuono found himself in a duel against the last French bulwark, who again saved his team.

A second time on the uprights
After the break, our team continued its domination and once again found the uprights, this time the bar. A shot from Mbappé, deflected with the tip of his foot by Aubameyang, failed to hit the crossbar (50'). The minutes flew by and Emerson had to save his team on his own goal line (68'). A corner from Arda Güler, deflected by Carvajal, went into the box without anyone catching it, except the Brazilian defender. As the new corner was about to be taken, Rulli and Carvajal collided in the box and the Marseille goalkeeper fell to the ground. Warned by the VAR, the referee reviewed the images and decided to send off our captain
