Bellingham: “A great feeling” after scoring with Real Madrid
Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham expressed his satisfaction after scoring the winning goal in the 1-0 victory over Juventus in the Champions League. This goal represents his first goal of the season. Bellingham took advantage of a rebound after a shot by Vinícius Júnior to send the ball into the net, securing the three points for Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu and consolidating their third consecutive victory in the Champions League. The English player hadn’t scored since his shoulder operation in July. Now, he’s regaining his best form ahead of Sunday’s Clásico against Barcelona in LaLiga.The goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois highlighted Bellingham’s astuteness in being alert to the rebound and his return to his best level. Bellingham had an outstanding debut season at the Bernabéu, scoring 19 goals in LaLiga.It’s a great feeling, it’s been a long time since I scored, a long time out and dreaming of that moment, back in the Champions League and against a great team. Scoring the winning goal, here at home, is incredible. I felt comfortable, very good. Playing well was important, and scoring the winning goal helps the team a lot.
