Jude Bellingham has ended a 179-day goal drought, delivering his first goal of the season for Real Madrid and silencing critics in the process.


The 21-year-old English midfielder burst onto the scene last season, but his recent shift to a more defensive role meant his goal-scoring opportunities have been limited.


However, on Saturday, fortune favored Bellingham as Raul Asencio’s precise through ball gave him the perfect setup. Demonstrating his signature close control, Bellingham deftly chipped the ball into the net, securing a 2-0 lead for Los Blancos.

This long-awaited goal marked his 23rd in just 40 appearances for the club, highlighting his ongoing impact. After 179 days without a goal since his last on May 14, 2024, Bellingham’s resilience and skill have reaffirmed his star quality, and fans are eager to see him back on the scoresheet.
