People all over the world saw how Toni Kroos reacted to Jude Bellingham’s amazing goal against Barcelona.
Madrid went to the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on Saturday afternoon hoping to beat their fierce rivals Barcelona and move four points ahead of them.
But after only seven minutes, they were down 1-0 because Ilkay Gunodgan, a defender who used to play for Manchester City, scored for Barcelona. In the second half, Bellingham stole the show. In the 68th minute, he scored an amazing long-range equalizer that no one could stop.
He was in the right place at the right time deep into extra time to win the game 2-1.
For the first time in El Clasico, Bellingham proved once again why he is one of the best football players in the world right now.
What the Madrid bench did after Bellingham’s first goal was caught on camera.
While most of Madrid’s substitutes celebrated wild, Kroos, the German midfield master, decided to sit back and cheer calmly. He said something that you can see below. Bellingham has had a great start to life in Spain since he moved there from Borussia Dortmund for £88 million in the summer transfer window.
Bellingham has scored 13 goals and set up 3 others in 13 games across all categories.
With the win, Madrid passed Girona and is now back on top of the La Liga table with 28 points.
With 24 points, Barcelona is still in third place. This Sunday night, Atletico Madrid plays Deportivo Alaves. If they win, they will have the chance to pass Barcelona.
