JUDE BELLINGHAM continued his legendary start in Spain by scoring in his Real Madrid Champions League debut.In the fourth minute of stoppage time, the £115 million midfielder scored, making up for an otherwise dismal evening at the Bernabeu.Since joining from Borussia Dortmund, he has scored six goals in his first six games, further solidifying his cult status among the supporters.Throughout the entire 90 minutes, the underdog German team, who was playing at this level for the first time, had shown themselves to be resolute opponents, forcing Danish goalkeeper Frederik Ronnow to make several outstanding saves.Joselu, a Spanish striker assigned the difficult task of trying to succeed Karim Benzema this season, had roughly six opportunities to score.JUDE BELLINGHAM continued his legendary start in Spain by scoring in his Real Madrid Champions League debut.Ronnow shoved one of those chances onto a post, while Rodrygo’s teammate also saw a shot attempt hit the wall.In the end, Bellingham, the sixth English player to represent Madrid in either the European Cup or Champions League, was called upon to save the day once more.And the England pivot took advantage of a rare blunder in the Berlin defense to celebrate one of his early career’s simplest goals.Federico Valverde delivered a short corner, and it bounced off two Berlin players before falling pleasantly in the path of the former Birmingham City star. Toni Kroos played the short corner.JUDE BELLINGHAM continued his legendary start in Spain by scoring in his Real Madrid Champions League debut.He broke the Berlin resistance with a single kick of his right foot and celebrated in his trademark way, with his arm outstretched.Fans found it hard to believe Bellingham had once again delivered the goods for the Spanish giants.One admirer commented on the goal by writing, “Mans living every young boy’s dream.”Another remarked, “He is inevitable!”His movement before that opening shot is amazing. Makes it seem so simple,” said a third.”What a player man!” exclaimed the fourth.Someone else chimed in, “Bellingham is using witchcraft, he can’t always be in the right spot like that.”JUDE BELLINGHAM continued his legendary start in Spain by scoring in his Real Madrid Champions League debut.“I’m a confident lad, but I really couldn’t have hoped for things to start as well as this in terms of goals,” said Bellingham, who was awarded the game’s top performance.We have won all six of our games—five in La Liga and one in the Champions League—so we can’t really grumble.”I’m not going to lie, I hope I continue scoring goals in minutes 94 or 95,” he continued.“Even though scoring early could be good for my heart, the club, and the game. Coming here has exceeded all of my expectations, including mine.”I’ve been watching Madrid on TV ever since I can remember, and now I’ve worn this shirt and scored for them.”The sixth player to score is Bellingham.
