An incredible finish from the 20-year-old saw already-crowned La Liga champions go 1-0 up at the Bernabeu.
Highlights
- Bellingham shines with a stunning finish for Real Madrid, showcasing his technical ability and composure in front of goal.
- Ancelotti’s side continues to impress despite already winning La Liga, as Bellingham shows no signs of slowing down.
- Bellingham’s goal against Deportivo Alaves highlights his emergence as one of the world’s best players since joining Real Madrid.
Real Madrid poster boy Jude Bellingham has added another strike to his tally for the season – and it was a wonderfully taken finish to put Los Blancos one goal to the good against 11th-placed Deportivo Alaves.
Despite Carlo Ancelotti’s side already winning the La Liga title and enjoying an open-top bus parade through the Spanish capital, the Italian veteran is ensuring they finish on a high – and Bellingham is not letting his levels drop.
A clipped ball over the top from pass master Toni Kroos landed perfectly in the vicinity of the Birmingham City graduate, but there was still much left to do. Adjusting his body to face the goal, Bellingham deftly lifted the ball over goalkeeper Jesus Owono.
When many players would hit and hope from such an angle, Bellingham had the technical know-how and positional awareness to evade the pressure and lift the ball into the back of the net.
The Santiago Bernabeu erupted into raptures, largely in disbelief, as the England international wheeled off calmly. Just another day at the office for the 20-year-old.
Since joining from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2023, the Englishman has emerged as one of the best players in world football and the audacity to tuck his latest one in the manner that he did proves just that.
