What the hell, let's just run it back!
Just play if over again tomorrow. Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund are uniquely constructed to bring the best out of each other, for whatever reason, and Wednesday's Champions League tie was no different.
Real Madrid went up 2-0 via Karim Benzema scoring on great passes from Dani Carvajal and James Rodriguez, respectively.
Borussia Dortmund beat Legia Warsaw 8-4. They combined for 12 goals, more than the number of players each team is allowed to have on the field and the same number as the number of months in a year.
In the Champions League.
Donald Trump won the election, Leicester won the premier league, Britain left the EU and now Usain Bolt is joining Borussia Dortmund? Why not.
According to Decca Aitkenhead of The Guardian:
On Saturday American Christian Pulisic entered Borussia Dortmund's match against Ingolstadt as a sub and
OOOOOHHHHHH SAY CAN YOU SEE
And, um, he scored! He scored a goal! The equalizer in fact!
BY THE DAWN"S EARLY LIGHT
Down 3-2 in extra time, Pulisic pounced on a rebound like Landon Donovan in the 2010 World Cup, not that we are suggesting anything.
WHAT SO PROUDLY WE HAILED
Pulisic also assisted Adrian Ramos's goal to make it 3-2.
AT THE TWILIGHT'S LAST GLEAMING
The Borussia Dortmund-Sporting CP contest Tuesday was a very interesting match for a variety of reasons.
It was interesting because Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang threw a Sporting defender to the ground then chipped the keeper.
The career trajectories of England’s Marcus Rashford and the USA’s Christian Pulisic have escalated quicker than Donald Trump’s various horrible statements.
On April 9, 2013, Borussia Dortmund gained the fandom of millions around the world — or maybe it was just me. Dortmund had already achieved domestic success and Champions League glory in the past, but most fans (once again, me) cared more for their FIFA video game squad chemistry than their actual real-life play.
