Gonzalo García shone with his own light: he opened the scoring and gave the second to a brilliant Fran García in the first half hour.

The impact of the Garcías was decisive in controlling and directing the game.

Kylian Mbappé came on from the bench in the second half to connect a spectacular volley in extra time that sealed the 3-1 before the final penalty.

Aurélien Tchouaméni consolidated his hybrid role between midfielder and center-back, dominating the center of the field and certifying his improvement from last season.

How did Borussia Dortmund respond?

Despite the white dominance, Dortmund found its moment late on. Beier scored a great goal in stoppage time (90+2'), and Serhou Guirassy reduced the distance from the penalty spot after Dean Huijsen's expulsion (90+8’)

This reaction put Madrid in check, although Courtois finally contained the rival's attempt with a great save. A lot of reward for the little deployed.

The next test for the whites will be tougher: a clash of titans in the semifinals against PSG. Who will take it?
