His teammate Bellingham praised the number 9 after the match, declaring to TNT Sports that he “Fly and it's so good to see”.
A goal of consolation by Nico Gonzalez did nothing to stop the rise of Real towards the next round, led by the French star striker. The former PSG player scored two goals in the first half before concluding his hat-trick at the time of play. He may have experienced a slow career in Real, but there is no doubt that he is in great shape now.
Bellingham bows
Bellingham said: “It's great to play with him. You approach the matches knowing that you can give him the ball and that he will influence things. Our work behind him and the rest of the three attackers is to try to place them in the best possible positions and I try to enter the area too. You know that when Kylian recovers the ball in the areas he likes on the ground, he will be dangerous. Left foot or right foot. He has scored several different types of goals today. It's incredible what he did in his career. I know that he had a slow start here and that he took time to get used to life here. Now he flies and it's so good to see. ”
