Bellingham wasted no time getting on the scoresheet against Alaves, scoring in just ten minutes after receiving a pass from Toni Kroos and slotting the ball past Alaves goalkeeper Jesus Owono.
This goal marked Bellingham’s 23rd of the season, accompanied by 10 assists for Real Madrid, an impressive feat for a midfielder in his debut season with the club.
Real Madrid went on to win the game 5-0, with Vinicius Jr scoring twice and Federico Valverde adding another goal before halftime. Turkish teenager Arda Guler rounded off the scoring.
With the season still ongoing, Bellingham will be eager to add more goals to his tally as Real Madrid aims to finish the La Liga season on a high note.
Real Madrid’s unbeaten home record in LaLiga this season sets them up well for their final game against Real Betis, aiming to complete an entire league campaign undefeated at home for the first time since 2019/20.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side is on the brink of equalling their club record of 31 La Liga games unbeaten, set during the 1988/89 season.
Looking ahead, Real Madrid will face Bellingham’s former club Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final at Wembley Stadium on June 1, vying for their 15th European title.
If they succeed, Bellingham could become a strong contender for the 2024 Ballon d’Or.
However, there’s no time to rest for Bellingham, as he will also play a crucial role in England’s Euro 2024 squad if Real Madrid clinches victory.
