Five days before the first Clasico of the season, Real Madrid reset their intentions tonight (Tuesday) with a crushing 0: 5 against Shakhtar Donetsk, which they lost twice in the home leg last season.
Manor Solomon was substituted at the break just 1-0 behind, and saw from the bench Vinicius starring with a double and cooking for Rodrigo and Karim Benzema signing in overtime, a day before his trial in the extortion case opened.
Real clung to the sheriff at the top of the fourth house with six points each, followed by Inter with four and Shakhtar with only one point and still without a goal.

The reactions
Karim Benzema
said at the end: "We went through an important game in a great way. We scored many goals and did not concede. I needed this goal, I hope to continue like this. Shakhtar is a good team, they pressed us in the first quarter, "For all of us. Vinicius is young, but he deserves everything he does. He helps us a lot, he is a star and I hope he will continue to do so until the end of the season."
Vinicius
himself concluded: "I continue to work hard, I am 21 years old and I have enough time left to become a great player. It is normal that sometimes I will not succeed, but occasionally these moves work for me. I have already scored seven goals this season - more than all last season. "Good with pressure, what helps me a lot is the confidence on the part of the coach. We love these Champions League games. Now we will rest and move on to focus on Barcelona."
