Jude Bellingham was the Real Madrid hero once again as he inspired them to a 3-1 La Liga win away to Almeria.
Los Blancos headed to Andalucia on the back of a positive start to the 2023/24 season last weekend via a 2-0 victory at Athletic Club.
However. they suffered an early setback at the Power Horse Stadium, as former youth team star Sergio Arribas burst into the box, to head the hosts into a shock lead.
The away side were stung into life after that, as England international Bellingham stabbed home his second goal for the club, after a debut strike in Bilbao.
Bellingham’s intervention looked to have tipped the tide in the visitors favour from there as Toni Kroos’ goal was ruled out by VAR just before the interval.
However, it was left to the new star in Madrid to haul Carlo Ancelotti’s team over the line to all three points, as the hosts looked to dig in for a draw.
Kroos’ floated cross was perfect for the former Borussia Dortmund playmaker as he glided into the box to head Real Madrid in front.
Bellingham showed the full range of his talents in the closing stages, to seal the win, as he slipped in Vinicius Junior to curl home a superb clincher.

Bellingham is far better than the combination of Pedri and Gavi…no doubt💯
y can't get gavi pedri out of your mind cuz you know they r better they both have won golden boy awards and Bellingham hasn't. I m not disrespecting Bellingham but gavi pedri r better Gavi even this season while he remained injured in most of the matches or didn't play in his actual position due to lack of attackers, is on 3rd rank while he's is younger than Bellingham who has a bit more experience. and pedri, he is the best young midfielder in the world right now....

All this judgement at the second game of the season, you people are delusional. Also if we lose Bayern or city it won’t be because we don’t have dembele. We had him last season against Bayern, he did nothing, and against United he was injured as usual, unreliable. Like I said

I'm not arguing with your team ok, neither am i saying they're not good. All am saying is that they lack world class playmakers and dangerous wingers. I don't know if you're ever understanding me

Don't bother. You'll see all what am telling you against big clubs in the champions league and even in la Liga. You think this Barca team can even draw with Bayern or Man city or Arsenal or even Newcastle? Newcastle will thrash this your team trust me

He struggles when he’s surrounded by midfielders. He links up well with attackers, when they made subs he played better , created a big chance and got an assist. Although obviously he is showing signs of aging, like it eventually happens to everyone. But xavi didn’t help him out

I don't care whether they won. They still lack creativity and playmakers. Dembele was all of that. They'd struggle against even Betis or Bibao

Not to mention Barca created 6 big chances in this match, against a low block cadis, yesterday Real Madrid created 4 big chances against almeria who were constantly on the attack. The Barca match lacked finishers, because we were starting 5 midfielders . The problem was the cutting edge not, the eye for goal not the creativity. It was a poor line up from xavi again.
