El Clasico 2023: Jude Bellingham scored a brace against Barcelona to ensure Real Madrid took all three points.
Madrid knew he was good, but the player has been extraordinary, scoring 13 goals in 13 matches so far in Spain.
The Englishman continued his dream-like start to life at Real Madrid as he scored twice in Saturday’s match.
Barcelona went in front early in the game with a goal from Ilkay Gundogan but that was not enough for Xavi’s men.
The players that replaced these stars missed a couple of clear chances in the match and Bellingham made them pay with 20 minutes left.
Tchouameni hit the woodwork from range and Bellingham latched onto the ball outside the 18-yard box and hammered a shot for an equalizer.
The match was looking like a draw already but the Englishman said “Not on my watch” as a ball accidentally found him and he fired home for victory from point-blank range.
Barcelona went into the EL Clasico match with thoughts on how to stop Jude Bellingham who has been on fire for Real Madrid since arriving in the summer.
Jude Bellingham was undoubtedly the player of the match in the El Clasico encounter.
He wears the number 5 jersey which was previously won by Zinedine Zidane and he showed the world it’s now his time in the Spanish capital.
The former Borussia Dortmund player was quiet for the most part of the game but showed his capabilities with a beautiful shot for an equalizer.
He was later involved in the match after that goal and one could see the link up between him and Vinicius Junior with him ending the game in a fairytale style.
