Real Madrid seemed destined to lose their first match of the season against Barcelona...but along came Jude Bellingham to set the record straight and help Los Merengues claim a crucial point in their quest to win one more La Liga title.
The former Borussia Dortmund player has had a massive impact for Ancelotti's men this season, and he did not hesitate to make his presence felt in this tie by scoring one of the few shots on goal by the Spanish giants against the Blaugrana side.
What looked like a not so dangerous corner kick ended up being handed to Bellingham, who after getting a grip on the ball, fired a missile with his right foot to find the top left-hand corner of Ter Stegen's net.

When everything seemed destined to end in a draw, Los Merengues took the ball down the right flank. Dani Carvajal sent a cross into the box, and when Luka Modric apparently lost control of the ball, he ended up deflecting it just in time to clear a barcelona defender to find jude bellingham all alone, opening up the chance to win the game for los merengues.

The English midfielder has now scored 13 goals in his first 13 games for Los Merengues, but this brace will surely be remembered by Real Madrid fans if things go as planned for them this season.
