Bellingham's goal is the joy of Real's victory

Sports Desk:  That's exactly what happened in the first El Clasico of the La Liga season. Jude Bellingham's goal in the last minute, Real Madrid returned from the field of Barcelona with victory.

The return is not an exception. Even after falling behind twice, it was Bellingham in the last minute that beat Real in the joy of victory. His goals led Real to a thrilling 3-2 win over Barcelona at home.     

Barcelona took the lead in the sixth minute of the match at the Santiago Bernabeu. Christensen scored a great header from Rafinha's cross. However, Real did not take too long to return to parity. In the 16th minute, Lucas Vazquez entered the box past Joao Cancelo. But Kubersi created danger for Barca by fouling him. Vinicius made no mistake in scoring the penalty.   

Barca came very close to going ahead again in the 28th minute. Andriy Lunin got inside the goal line to return the backheel of Lamine Yamal. However, according to VAR, the Real goalkeeper returned the ball before it completely crossed the goal line. So Real survived this journey.

Barca midfielder Frenkie de Jong had to leave the field due to injury before the end of the first half. After the break, both teams continued to fight on an equal footing. However, Barca scored first this time as well. In the 69th minute, Yamal's shot was blocked by Lunin, but Fermin Lopes put the Catalans ahead with the return shot. But the visitors could not keep that lead for more than four minutes. Vasquez beat Barca goalkeeper Ter Stegen with a powerful shot from Vinny's perfect cross from the left. He did not let Barca defender Jules Kunde on the right side to feel his presence.

After returning to parity, Real became desperate for victory. They attacked Barca's fortress one by one. In the 78th minute, Vinny could not score despite getting Stegan alone in the counter attack. However, Real's efforts did not stop. The desired moment arrives in the first minute of added time. Vasquez's long-range cross was released by Joselu for Bellingham in behind. Barca defenders became stupid after seeing that. Bellingham then scored with a superb shot from that cross, which showed their helplessness even more pathetically. As if there was nothing to do then! 

Bellingham is the first Real player to score the winning goals in his first two El Clasicos in La Liga since Ruud von Niströy in 2007. This is the English midfielder's 17th goal in La Liga this season. In the victory brought by that goal, Real strengthened the top position with 81 points in 32 matches. Their gap with arch-rivals Barca in second has now increased to 11 points. Barca in two with 70 points in the match. The dream of winning the league faded even more for them to say the least.
