When Jude Bellingham came to LaLiga, a good number of disparate analyzes arose about his style of play. From those who labeled him a ‘box-to-box’ to those who spoke of a creative medium, with the ability to dribble. And more than one erred on excessive prudence by asking for time for him to adapt. Bellingham is the attraction of LaLiga at the start of the season. It is an indescribable profile, because it had been a long time since a footballer burst into the championship with such power. And so, six out of six for the Real Madridall at home for the works of the Bernabéu.
Against Celta, the English international once again demonstrated an unusual ability to score. He celebrated again, as in the two previous days. A goal against Athletic, two against Almería and another against the sky-blue team, which was embittered by his centenary. Bellingham plays like a star, being able to go unnoticed to emerge at the right moment. Ecstasy came this time in the 81st minute, after a highly demanding match for Ancelotti’s men, who lost Vinicius due to a muscle injury.
Celta came out with the courage that a fan fully immersed in the anniversary gave him. He did it with C Tangana, author of the Centennial anthem, in the stands as one more fan. Just like at the end of last season, when the Galician team was risking permanence. He took three minutes to see the door against a Real Madrid with Modric and Kroos on the bench. The goal ended up disallowed. Larsen fought with Kepa, who was starting his first match against Lunin, and with his heel he deflected a shot from Beltrán just enough. In his first challenge as a white goalkeeper, the Basque had collapsed against the Norwegian striker.
Goal disallowed by Larsen and injury to Vinicius
While Benitez, the former Real Madrid coach, smacked his lips on the bench before the early advantage, the VAR call came. Díaz de Mera went to the monitor and understood that there was a violation of Larsen on Kepa. A disputed decision in which the striker claimed that it had been the goalkeeper who had seized him in a valued field, the small area, but not sacred to the goalkeepers, as is erroneously commented in popular culture.

Faced with fear, Real Madrid became agitated in the best way they know how. With the hubbub that Vinicius always promises. He tore off a terrific franchise man single play in which he went to the ground. The alert became an injury after a quarter of an hour. The Brazilian ended up asking for the change due to a slight discomfort in his right leg, in the back of the thigh. A type of injury to which he has been immune in Spain and whose diagnosis will be known in about 48 hours. Joselu entered his place, the only pure striker of a group determined to put on a muzzle on the market even if it closes on August 31.
Unsuccessful diagonals and a celestial threat on the counter
The white ensemble did not fall apart, despite the fact that every time a pin is removed from his game map there is a silence. The person in charge of capitalizing on the attack was Rodrygo, who inherited the role of dribbler left by Vinicius. Celta held on well behind, with a low block, with the risk that this entails for physical wear. Belllingham drew diagonals that did not find the key to the goal as in previous days.
He did it successfully once, but his receiver, Joselu, was clearly offside. Celta exhausted a trade window by losing Cervi, but first they showed that his ability to steal in their own half and stampede served to threaten Real Madrid. Bamba finished a book counter that put the match in the territory of the exchange of blows. It was a live match where both contenders had altered their initial plans.
Penalty saved and Bellingham scores again
Ancelotti changed the system in the second halfwith Rodrygo occupying the left wing and Valverde on the right. Bellingham was behind Joselu. What was maintained is an incendiary succession of occasions. Bamba was an absolute nuisance for Carvajal and Rodrygo remained the lighter of the Madrid attack. In one of many, he gave a ball to Valverde that he narrowly sent wide. After the hour of play, Kroos and Modric entered, who did not change the rhythm of the match.
It was 0-0, but infinitely more entertaining than many other games. Real Madrid was able to reach the ‘game over’ screen with a penalty from Iván Villar on Rodrygo. The sky-blue goalkeeper, a product of A Madroa (Celta’s youth academy), like the outgoing Gabri Veiga (to Saudi Arabia), recovered from the offense committed with a colossal save with which he ended up winning the duel against the Brazilian. To Iago Aspas, who overtook Hugo Mallo In the number of games played in the First Division with Celta, he lacked a thread to see himself as the hero of the match after a play in which Real Madrid experienced defensive vertigo.

Until the ‘joker’ appeared, the card that solves the most complicated games. Bellingham rose from a corner to anticipate Aidoo and catch a shot from Joselu who headed into the back of the net. Seeing him look for a ball at the bottom of the net has become a sweet routine for the least foreign of newcomers. A player adapted to all the contexts that he claims to be “ten times better than last year”. And there could be many more.
