After an effort to break through on the left wing, Vinicius flicked the outside of his foot for Mbappe to run in and finish. Even though there was only the goalkeeper in front of him, the former PSG star still could not score.

In the 90+6 minute, the player who came on to replace Mbappe, Endrick made the Bernabeu stadium explode with a breakthrough and confident finish, sealing a 3-0 victory for the home team.
