Kevin De Bruyne has had the patent for improbable millimeter passes from all corners of the field for years. But what Bellingham pulled off against Girona was second to none. With the outside right he reached the free-standing Joselu at the second post, who just had to push it in. Phenomenal.
The British midfielder completed his match in the second half by pushing the third and decisive goal into the net with an even more difficult half-volley. For Bellingham it was already his sixth league goal in seven games. The end of the match was overshadowed by a horror tackle by the Real defender who was rightly shown the red card, albeit only after the intervention of the VAR. With this victory, Real Madrid takes over the lead from seasonal revelation Girona.
