The game itself was a rollercoaster of emotions, with both sides trading blows throughout. Barcelona took an early lead through Andres Christensen, only for Real Madrid to claw their way back into contention with a Vinicius Jr penalty just before halftime.

Bellingham’s impact has been nothing short of remarkable since his arrival, with his performance in El Clasico further highlighting his importance to Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
With just six games remaining in the season, Real Madrid stands on the cusp of reclaiming the La Liga crown, thanks in no small part to the heroics of Jude Bellingham and their resilient squad. As the celebrations reverberate through the streets of Madrid, one thing is certain – Bellingham’s late winner has etched its place in El Clasico folklore, ensuring his legacy at the Bernabeu will endure for years to come.
