In a thrilling El Clasico encounter, Jude Bellingham emerged as the hero for Real Madrid, scoring a late winner to secure a hard-fought victory against arch-rivals Barcelona.
The match, played at the Bernabeu, showcased the intense rivalry between the two Spanish giants, with both teams fighting tooth and nail for supremacy on the pitch.
The game started with an early lead for Barcelona, courtesy of Andres Christensen’s goal off a Raphinha corner. However, Real Madrid quickly bounced back, equalizing before halftime through a Vinicius Jr penalty. The second half saw a back-and-forth battle, with Barcelona taking the lead once again through Fermin Lopez, only to be pegged back by Lucas Vazquez’s equalizer for Real Madrid.
As the clock ticked into stoppage time, Bellingham seized the moment, smashing the ball into the roof of the net to secure a crucial victory for Real Madrid. The win not only extended Real’s lead at the top of La Liga but also showcased their resilience and determination to reclaim the title. With just six games remaining in the season, Real Madrid now find themselves in a commanding position to clinch the coveted trophy.
The match was not without controversy, as Barcelona contested a disallowed goal, arguing that the ball had crossed the line. However, without goal-line technology in La Liga, the decision stood, adding another layer of drama to an already intense encounter. Despite the contentious moments, the victory marked Real Madrid’s 28th consecutive unbeaten match across all competitions, highlighting their dominance and formidable form under the stewardship of Carlo Ancelotti.
