England’s midfielder Jude Bellingham was instrumental in Real Madrid’s 3-1 triumph over Almeria, scoring twice to ensure the team’s flawless start in La Liga. Having joined Real from Borussia Dortmund this summer, Bellingham has already found the net three times in his first two matches in the Spanish top-flight.

The match commenced with Almeria taking the lead through Sergio Arribas’ early header. However, Bellingham’s influence quickly shifted the momentum. He equalized by capitalizing on a fortunate deflection off a defender and later doubled Real’s score with a precise header from a Toni Kroos cross.

Vinicius Jr contributed a third goal for Real, completing a well-coordinated play initiated by Bellingham’s pass. The victory showcased Bellingham’s adaptability and prowess, as he donned the number five shirt once worn by Real legend Zinedine Zidane. He played a vital role in propelling Ancelotti’s side forward, and rumor has it, he’s even started practicing Zidane’s famous headbutt – on the ball, of course!

Real Madrid’s investment in Bellingham, totaling £88.5m with potential add-ons reaching £115m, is already demonstrating signs of being a wise expenditure. The exceptionally talented former Dortmund youth has swiftly adapted to La Liga and Real’s playing style, earning praise from Ancelotti and a smooth transition from Germany’s Bundesliga.

The victory in the Estadio Mediterráneo was marked by Bellingham’s remarkable performance, securing a comfortable win for Real Madrid and signaling a promising future for the young midfielder in the Spanish capital.
