In a dramatic El Clasico at the Bernabeu, Jude Bellingham’s stoppage-time goal sealed a 3-2 victory for Real Madrid over Barcelona, extending their lead to 11 points atop La Liga.
Real Madrid showcased resilience, bouncing back twice in the match, with Vinicius Jr converting a penalty and Lucas Vazquez scoring, before Bellingham’s decisive strike.
Barcelona had taken an early lead through Andres Christensen and regained the advantage with Fermin Lopez’s goal, only for Real to equalize each time.
The match was not without controversy, as Barcelona’s claims for a goal were dismissed due to the absence of goal-line technology in La Liga, much to the frustration of coach Xavi and goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Bellingham’s heroics have become a hallmark of his time at Real, echoing his performance in his first El Clasico where he netted twice. His contributions this season have been pivotal, with 17 goals to his name, making him one of La Liga’s top scorers.
Real Madrid’s triumph in this classic rivalry match puts them in a commanding position to clinch the La Liga title, with aspirations for a Champions League double still alive.
