The Spanish press kneels before Bellingham

Double scorer in the Clasico won by Real Madrid on Saturday, Jude Bellingham made the headlines in Madrid.

As obvious, or almost. Author of an incredible start to the season with the real Madrid, Jude Bellingham was obviously eagerly awaited for his first Clasico against the FC Barcelona Saturday afternoon. However, everything was not easy for the England international and his teammates. Embarrassed by the Catalan pressing and muzzled by Gavi, the former Dortmund player took time to show himself.

But, already, as a great player, it didn’t take much for him to shine. A few meters of space 25 meters from the goal were enough for him to equalize with a missile into the top corner of Ter Stegen (68th) before once again demonstrating his talents as a surface fox by taking back a cross from Carvajal deflected by a control missed by Luka Modric (92nd).

Bellingham wins

A “clutch” performance which obviously did not escape anyone. With 13 goals and 3 assists in 13 matches in all competitions, Bellingham is already unanimous in the Spanish capital. The daily newspapers are not mistaken, and it is the 20-year-old player who is making the front page this Sunday. “Lord Bellingham”enthuses A.S., “Bellingham sticks out his tongue”title on its side Marcawhich also announces that Madrid’s number 5 should win the 2023 Golden Boy.

In Catalonia, it is the frustration of the defeat and the scenario of a match dominated until the changes of the two teams which is brought to the fore. “Frustrating”simply title Sport while Mundo Deportivo points out the two faces shown by Barça during this meeting. The consequences in the standings are immediate since Barcelona is now four points behind Real and Girona, and can see Atlético Madrid move ahead this Sunday evening.
