Real Madrid continued their Champions League dominance, as the Los Blancos got yet another victory in the Champions League group stage.

Real Madrid defeated Braga away at Portugal, to make it three wins in three matches.

It was Braga who started brighter of the two sides, but it was Real Madrid who drew first blood, with Vinicius Jr finding Rodrygo for an easy finish in the 17th minute.

From then on, the game was completely dominated by Real Madrid.

The second-half started on a fiery note for Real Madrid, with chance after chance. By the hour mark, Vinicius Jr was creator again, as he set up Jude Bellingham who didn’t miss.

Braga equalised two minutes later through Alvaro Djalo, to give the game a nervy end.

Vinicius had two goals ruled out for offside in the second-half, and Kepa Arrizabalaga would make a brilliant save to deny Ricardo Horta from scoring a second goal late in the game.

Real Madrid top the group with 9 points, while Napoli follow with 6 points.
