Jude Bellingham scored and assisted for the first time in La Liga this season as Real Madrid overcame Barcelona in today’s victory of 2-1 at the Bernabeu.
However, he helped Mbappe in scoring the first goal with an assist in the 22nd minute and later scored his goal in the 43rd minute to end the first half with a leading result.
It was Bellingham’s fourth goal in five appearances in the clash between the league’s top two sides, with Xabi Alonso’s men moving five points clear of Barcelona as the game ended with Pedri sent off and clashes on the touchline.

Last season, Real Madrid lost all four Clásicos in all competitions but, from minute one, set about breaching Barcelona’s high defensive line.
The hosts were awarded a penalty when Vinicius Jr. went down inside the opening two minutes, but a video assistant referee (VAR) review determined the Real Madrid winger had kicked the leg of Lamine Yamal before he went down.
Madrid made Barca’s third-choice goalkeeper busy with shots but was caught out by a 38th-minute counterattack that ended with Marcus Rashford squaring for Fermin to equalize.
Mbappe was denied a second when he converted from another offside position following a magical team move started by Vinicius and Bellingham, having his effort stopped.
The second half began with VAR intervening once again to award Los Blancos a debatable penalty when the ball inadvertently struck the hand of Eric Garcia as he slid in to challenge Bellingham and the rebound ricocheted back on to him.
In conclusion, Szczesny, though, produced a fine one-handed stop to keep out Mbappe’s spot-kick in the 52nd minute.
