Real Madrid suffered but managed to win the Champions League

They didn’t win by surprise, but the reigning champions Real Madrid managed to beat Stuttgart 3-1, in a match marked by the debuts of Kylian Mbappé and Endrick in the Champions League with the Merengue jersey .

At the Bernabéu, it was necessary to wait until the start of the second half for the home team to take the lead on the scoreboard: the ball was received in the centre of the pitch by Tchouaméni , who found Rodrygo in depth, with the Brazilian winger assisting the French star for 1-0 in the 46th minute.

Despite conceding a goal, Stuttgart continued to find the back of the net , eventually equalising in the 67th minute. A corner kick was sent wide to the far post, but the ball was deflected by the opposition, but Leweling did not consider the opportunity lost and set up Deniz Undav , who headed the ball into Courtois ‘ net .

Rudiger also headed the ball to reassure the home fans and, after a perfect corner from Modric , put Real Madrid back in the lead with less than 10 minutes left in the match.

In the 90+5′ minute, young Endrick filled himself with courage and ran several meters up the field to make it 3-1. A fantastic execution outside the area by the 18-year-old Brazilian.
