Real Madrid star reveals Carlo Ancelotti’s half-time team talk vs Dortmund | OneFootball

Real Madrid star Vinícius Jr. has late on Tuesday provided an insight into the message sent to he and his teammates at the interval of the club’s meeting with Borussia Dortmund.

Real, of course, are fresh off the most remarkable of comeback victories.

After slipping into a two-goal hole during the first-half of a Champions League meeting with the aforementioned Dortmund, Los Blancos ultimately emerged victors by five goals to two.

Vinícius Jr. proved himself the star of the show, notching a stunning hat-trick to cement himself ever further as the favourite for the upcoming Ballon d’Or.

And, speaking to the media post-match, the Brazilian provided an insight into the message of calm laid out by head coach Carlo Ancelotti at the interval this evening.

With his side two goals down, and looking completely bereft of ideas, Real’s headmaster assured his players that just one goal of their own was needed, to spark another famous Remontada:

“In the locker room at half-time, the coach told us if we score one goal, we will make a comeback,” Vinícius explained.
