Em Atenas, o Real Madrid sofreu, mas venceu o AEK por 3 a 2 nesta quarta-feira (4), pela quarta rodada da Champions League, com gol da vitória no último minuto.
A “cavalaria” decidiu: Bellingham marcou um golaço de letra, Mbappé empurrou para a rede um cruzamento de Dumfries, e Valverde, que saiu do banco, acertou um chute forte aos 46 do segundo tempo.
Os espanhóis precisaram empatar duas vezes. Koita abriu o placar aos 11, com um belo gol de canhota, e deu a assistência para Pilios fazer o segundo em contra-ataque.
Mourinho deixou no banco a zaga e o lateral direito titulares, e ainda não contou com Arda Güler nem Tchouaméni. Rüdiger e Militão, na primeira titularidade do brasileiro desde a lesão no joelho, não deram a segurança de Konaté e Huijsen. Vinícius Jr. não completou nenhum drible e venceu apenas dois dos sete duelos no chão; Dumfries comprometeu na defesa. Camavinga foi a boa notícia no meio.
O Real chegou aos 100% na fase de liga, assim como na virada por 4 a 3 diante da Roma, e mantém a melhor campanha.
