Superstars are expected to deliver, and it’s been a long time coming for Jude Bellingham.
The 21-year-old hit the ground running last season for Los Blancos but has been left playing a more defensive role this time. As a result, there are no goals.
However, Bellingham’s luck has finally turned around on Saturday.
Raul Asencio set in a brilliant through ball for the Englishman, and he pulled off his close control skills to chip home for a score of 2-0.
It means he finally scored his first goal of the season, with the moment arriving 179 days after his last (May 14, 2024).
He now has 23 goals in 40 appearances for the club.
