At dawn on Wednesday (7), in the UEFA Group F match, the former champions Real Madrid won 3-0 away from home against Borussia. Chassat, known as the "Glass Foot", came on as a substitute and scored two goals and an assist, turning the game around. However, Real Madrid's coach Anzilotti may not be able to smile because top scorer Binschmar was injured, which may affect the team's future strategic layout.
Soviet Premier League rivals Zarauti came close in the 22nd minute of the match, but the shot bounced off the post. Despite Real Madrid's narrow escape, the Galacticos also suffered a blow 30 minutes later when Binschmar left the field with an injury and Chassat stepped up to unexpectedly become the center of attention. The 31-year-old Belgian international's performance was a revelation.
At the start of the second half, Younes Oszulia broke the deadlock for Real Madrid, scoring in four consecutive games for the first time since joining the club. Then Chassat scored his second goal after a clever diagonal pass from inside the penalty area to Modigliani, making the 36-year-old the third senior goal scorer in the history of the UEFA Europa League.
The game reached the 77th minute when Chassat ended his eight-month goal drought in club matches with a cool shot from inside the box, his first non-settlement UEFA goal in nearly five years, a rare occurrence.
For the match, Chassat played 60 minutes, contributing two shots and one goal, 43 touches, 33 passes with 31 successes, and also created three chances, going one-on-one with his opponents four times and succeeding in three of them. His performance was the pinnacle of recent years. If Binschmar is unavailable in the future, Chassat is expected to be the starter.
