Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham scored twice in a comfortable 4-0 home victory over Osasuna on Saturday, continuing his brilliant start to his career at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The 20-year-old England international opened the scoring in the ninth minute, finishing off a flowing move involving Vinicius Junior and Joselu.
Bellingham doubled his lead in the 55th minute, darting forward and playing a one-two with Fede Valverde before sweeping home.
His goals were his 10th and 11th in all competitions for Real Madrid since joining from Borussia Dortmund in the summer.
Bellingham has now scored in each of his last five games, and is the top scorer in La Liga with 7 goals.
Bellingham was not the only Real Madrid player to impress on Saturday. Vinicius Junior also scored a fine goal, cutting inside from the left flank and curling a shot into the top corner.
Joselu added a fourth late on, although his penalty was saved by Sergio Herrera before he tapped in the rebound.
The victory saw Real Madrid return to the top of La Liga, two points ahead of Barcelona. Osasuna, meanwhile, remain in 10th place.
Bellingham’s Brilliance Continues
Bellingham has been the standout player for Real Madrid so far this season. His goalscoring record is remarkable, but he also offers so much more to the team.
He is a dynamic and versatile midfielder who can play in a variety of positions. He is also a strong tackler and passer of the ball.
Bellingham’s form has attracted the attention of some of the biggest clubs in Europe, but Real Madrid are determined to keep him.
He is a key part of their plans for the future, and they believe he can help them to win major trophies.
Real Madrid Back on Top
Real Madrid’s victory over Osasuna was their fourth in a row in all competitions. They are now in top form, and they will be confident of challenging for the La Liga title this season.
Barcelona are their main rivals, but Real Madrid have a better head-to-head record against them. They also have a stronger squad, with more depth in key areas.
Real Madrid will be looking to build on their momentum when they face Braga in the Champions League on Tuesday 24th October 2023. They are the favourites to win the group, and they will be hoping to qualify for the knockout stages as soon as possible.
