Madrid –
Despite being productive this season, Jude Bellingham underestimated because the goals are relatively easy. The classic answer the doubt.
Bellingham continued his sharp streak this season when he scored two important goals Real Madrid won 2-1 at home to Barcelona. The visiting team fell behind because of Ilkay Guendogan’s goal.
This was the 13th goal in Bellingham’s first 13 matches with Madrid. He is also the current top scorer in LaLiga with 10 goals.

Bellingham has never started a season this well and it is natural that he has become the new favorite of Madrid fans. When Madrid’s front players were still fluctuating in performance, Bellingham became the new goal machine.
Even though he performed great, Bellingham apparently did not escape ridicule. This is related to Bellingham’s goals which were considered mediocre.
Bellingham was labeled a ‘Tap-in’ Merchant because he could only score goals from his teammates’ kicks or simply complete passes that came to him.
However, Bellingham answered with a stunning action in the last El Clasico, when his first goal against Marc-Andre Ter Stegen was scored with a hard kick from outside the penalty box.
“Which El Clasico goal is my favorite? Maybe the first. I can imagine people will mock me for the second goal. I know that I benefit from scoring easy goals! But I was moving and looking for space to score , finally it worked,” Bellingham told Real Madrid TV.
“I got the ball in the penalty box. I said a few weeks ago that I wanted to try to score a goal from outside the penalty box. Maybe the opponent thought I would go into the penalty box and play a 1-2 pass with my partner. So I tried surprised them with a shot from outside the penalty box. I was able to do that and the ball went into the top corner.”
