Bellingham’s superb brace gifts Real Madrid victory in El Clasico

Real Madrid emerged victorious against bitter rivals Barcelona in a dramatic fashion 2-1 after trailing for majority of the game on Saturday.

It was the Catalans, who took the early initiative with a goal from Ilkay Gundogan inside six minutes.

The former Manchester City player bagged his first goal for his new club after a fine one-two with Ferran Torres.

But up stepped the man of the moment – Jude Bellingham, who once again came to the rescue for Real Madrid as he drew the game level in the 68th minute after a phenomenal strike in the top right corner. It came against the run of play, as Barcelona seemed to be the team in control.

From there on, the match seemed to be heading into a 1-1 draw, but a stoppage time carnage in the Barcelona’s box saw Bellingham within striking distance and the 20-year-old took full advantage to give his team an unlikely victory with his 10th goal in La Liga.

With the win the Bernabeu team extend their lead over rivals Barcelona to 4 points at the top of La Liga and with his performance Bellingham has certainly cemented his place in Real Madrid’s hearts.
