Jude Bellingham took a day off on the seventh, but he returned to action on the eighth, helping Real Madrid defeat Girona 3-0 to reclaim the top spot.

In midweek, during Real Madrid’s seventh match of the season, the England midfielder was benched and did not participate in the team’s victory over Las Palmas.

However, he was on fire from the first against Girona, sending Real Madrid back to the top with a goal in the second half and an incredible assist in the first.

Nacho’s late dismissal from Madrid for a heinous foul on Girona substitute Portu ruined the team’s victory. Before Portu was hauled off with his hands over his face, he launched himself in a reckless and tardy manner, giving Nacho a straight red.

Madrid gave Girona two scoring opportunities and the opening ten minutes of the match in the first half. They blew both of them, and Girona took advantage of their first two goals with merciless efficiency.

The first chance for Girona came from a header by Yangel Herrera that narrowly missed the crossbar. Viktor Tsygankov, a winger from Ukraine, attempted the second, but his shot struck the post. Madrid started to move and soon they were leading by two.

At 17 minutes, Bellingham scored the first goal with a clever assist from Luka Modric. When the master of midfield arrived, he made good on his pledge to learn from him by curling the ball behind Girona’s defense in an appealing manner, setting Joselu up to sweep it home.

After just four minutes, Toni Kroos’ free kick from the left gave the score a double, as Daley Blind let Aurelien Tchouameni get away from him. With a powerful header, the French midfielder beat Paulo Gazzaniga

Before the half, Girona’s goalie had a one-on-one match against Bellingham, meaning Girona might have made it three.In the second half, he did score, and it came off a move he initiated. After passing the ball to Tchouameni, he gestured to Kroos, instructing the French midfielder where to place it. Gazzaniga stopped Kroos’ shot, but Joselu mishandled it and ended the match with a volley into the ground that rebounded past Girona’s keeper Bellingham.

Then came Nacho’s moment of craziness, requiring Antonoi Rudiger to hold him back as he chased after the Madrid player as he exited the field. Stuani is a Uruguayan striker for Girona.

After losing the Madrid Derby the previous weekend, Madrid made a major statement with this three-nil margin away from home. They easily defeated the league’s pacesetters despite being up against them. 

Vinicius had also been able to receive seventy minutes with Ancelotti. Even though he is still far from his peak, he will be prepared to play Napoli in the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on Tuesday. Bellingham, who has seven goals in eight games across all competitions, will also do well.
