Jude Bellingham was once again on fire for Real Madrid, scoring with a superb run, touch, and finish that befitted a seasoned striker.
Although the England midfielder broke the tie against Real Betis, the game finished in a 1-1 draw.

But Bellingham deserves no more credit for putting the game ahead with some Pippo Inzaghi-caliber forward play.
The superstar from Madrid perfectly timed a run to trick the opposition defence before grabbing Brahim Diaz’s deflected pass and finishing it.
The 20-year-old, sporting his now-iconic celebration, lifted his arms to the Sevilla crowd and gave one of his supporters at the Benito Villamarin a little extra kiss.
After pointing at the supporter, he covered his eyes with his hand and peered out at them from a distance.
The forward moved from Borussia Dortmund for £108 million in the summer, and in 18 games with Bellingham, he has 16 goals and 4 assists.
Bellingham stunned the home crowd, but he was later shown why Betis are undefeated at home in La Liga this season.
Thirteen minutes later, Aitor Ruibal equalised with a long-range drive that stunned the former Birmingham player and his colleagues.
They were unable to stop Betis from taking a point at full time, which put an end to Madrid’s five-game winning streak.

That gives Europe’s surprise package, Girona, the opportunity to regain the LaLiga lead against Barcelona on Sunday.
