The atmosphere was light at Real Madrid after the victory against Getafe (2-0). During this match, a funny scene attracted attention: Kylian Mbappé, after a shock suffered by Jude Bellingham, was worried about the state of his teammate by checking his nose. An attention which inspired Bellingham to make a joke on social networks, where he wrote:
“Quick check-up at the nose specialist”in reference to the nasal fracture suffered by Mbappé at Euro 2024.
This humorous moment marked a meeting where both players shone. Bellingham, despite feeling dizzy which led to his substitution at half-time, opened the scoring with a penalty awarded by Mbappé. The latter preferred to let his teammate shoot, thus showing a team gesture after missing a penalty against Liverpool a few days earlier.
A precious victory for Real
This victory allows Real Madrid to come back to within one point of Barcelona, with a game in hand. Although out due to a blocked neck, Bellingham should quickly return to form, according to Carlo Ancelotti. As for Mbappé, he also scored during this meeting, confirming his rise to power after mixed performances in the Champions League.
