La Liga: Real Madrid Jude Bellingham Scores Again Securing 1-0 Win vs Celta Vigo
Real Madrid's new signing Jude Bellingham scored a late header to secure a 1-0 win against Celta Vigo in La Liga.
Real Madrid's recent signing, Jude Bellingham, continued to impress in La Liga with a late header that secured a 1-0 victory for his team against Celta Vigo. This win marked Real Madrid's third consecutive victory, allowing them to maintain a flawless start to the season.
Bellingham, who is only 20 years old, once again showcased his attacking prowess by scoring his fourth goal in his first three league games. His goal came after Rodrygo missed a penalty earlier in the second half.
Unfortunately, Real Madrid faced an early setback when Brazilian forward Vinicius Jr was forced off the field due to a leg injury after just 15 minutes. This injury adds to the absence of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and defender Eder Militao, who are also currently injured.
Celta Vigo also had to make a substitution before halftime due to Franco Cervi's injury. Both teams faced challenges with injuries, but it was Real Madrid who ultimately emerged victorious.
The match started with controversy as Celta Vigo thought they had taken the lead in the opening seconds. However, VAR disallowed Jorgen Larsen's goal due to a foul on goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. This match marked Arrizabalaga's debut for Real Madrid after being loaned from Chelsea.
Real Madrid had an opportunity to take the lead in the 68th minute when Rodrygo was awarded a penalty after being tripped by Celta Vigo's goalkeeper, Ivan Villar. However, Villar redeemed himself by making a diving save to deny Rodrygo's spot kick. Carlo Ancelotti expressed his disappointment that Luka Modric did not take the penalty, as he had initially instructed midfielder Fede Valverde to pass it to Modric.
However, it was Jude Bellingham who ultimately sealed the victory for Real Madrid with a header from Joselu's touch off a corner. Bellingham's intelligent movement without the ball and his ability to arrive at the right moment have contributed to his impressive start in La Liga.
Real Madrid's next match will be their first home game of the season, which will take place against Getafe next Saturday. This match will be particularly special as it will be held at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, which has undergone renovations. Real Madrid will be looking to continue their winning streak and maintain their position at the top of the La Liga table.
