Jude Bellingham, the team’s leading goal-scorer, stole the spotlight once again with a magnificent second-half performance, sealing the triumph with a brilliant brace.
With 13 goals and three assists in just 13 games across all competitions, the young Englishman, aged 20, managed to effortlessly adapt to Spanish football after his move from Borussia Dortmund.

Madrid responded strongly on Saturday as they rallied against Barcelona’s early lead. The visitors’ defensive error allowed midfielder Ilkay Gündogan to capitalize and score in the sixth minute.
Barcelona paid the price for their inability to capitalize on their control of the game, as Bellingham maximized the limited opportunities he had in the latter part of the match.
In the 68th minute, he initiated an unstoppable strike from a distance into the upper left corner. Then, during stoppage time, he secured the victory by netting the winning goal after brilliantly receiving a pass from Luka Modric within the penalty area.
After the game we had, it would be unfair for us to settle for a draw. The opposing team appeared to have given up, but then they unexpectedly launched those shameful attacks that left us stunned.
