Jude Bellingham Shines Again As Real Madrid Triumph Over Girona.
Jude Bellingham continued his remarkable scoring streak in La Liga, finding the net for the fifth consecutive match as Real Madrid secured a 3-0 victory against Girona. The England international’s run has seen him become the first Real Madrid player to achieve this feat since Karim Benzema in 2021.
Bellingham opened the scoring late in the first half, firing a precise shot on the bounce from 16 yards. The midfielder then showcased his playmaking ability, delivering a perfectly weighted through ball for Arda Güler, who slotted home Madrid’s second goal after the interval.
Despite his outstanding performance, Bellingham was substituted after an hour due to a knock, with Dani Ceballos taking his place. However, Real manager Carlo Ancelotti quickly reassured fans, confirming that the 21-year-old would be fit for their upcoming Champions League clash against Atalanta.
Kylian Mbappé added a third goal for Madrid, drilling in a powerful shot from Luka Modrić’s pass to mark his 200th league goal. The Frenchman’s tally includes 16 goals for Monaco, 175 for Paris Saint-Germain, and now nine in La Liga for Real Madrid.
The victory leaves Carlo Ancelotti’s side just two points behind league leaders Barcelona, who drew 2-2 with Real Betis. Madrid also hold a game in hand, keeping the title race finely poised.
Speaking after the match, Ancelotti praised Bellingham’s form: “Jude scored his fifth goal in five games and is in great shape. His leg was feeling some strain, so we didn’t want to take any risks, but he’s fine and ready for Tuesday.”
Real Madrid will turn their attention to European competition as they prepare for a Champions League encounter with Atalanta. With Bellingham and Mbappé both in scintillating form, the Spanish giants appear well-equipped to continue their impressive campaign.
