Neither Vinicius nor Rodrygo, the true MVP of Real Madrid's Champions League clash

Real Madrid won their second day of the Champions League 3-0 against Sporting Braga. But it didn't start well, as those led by Carlo Ancelotti committed a penalty at the dawn of the match that complicated their plans…

As if that were not enough, at the time of the warm-up before starting the game, Kepa Arrizabalaga was removed from the squad because he suffered discomfort in his right leg and went to the dressing room with the doctors. To replace him, the Italian coach chose substitute Andriy Lunin in his place.

For this reason, it was the Ukrainian's turn to be the starter and have a penalty against him just 5 minutes into the game. The foul was committed by Lucas Vázquez for grabbing the rival from behind. However, he withstood the pressure at the Santiago Bernabéu and managed to cover it with an extraordinary stretch that drowned out the goal cry from the Spanish Álvaro Djaló.

Thanks to Lunin, Real Madrid beat Braga convincingly, in the group stage of the Champions League, with goals from Vinicius, Brahim Díaz and Rodrygo Goes. In this way, Carlo Ancelotti was the one who most celebrated the former Flamengo Brazilian's goal. And he blamed himself because his player has been insulted a lot in recent times.
