The 20-year-old midfielder once again dazzled the football world with all his talent during Real’s victory against Osasuna (4-0) this Saturday.
Prodigious Jude Bellingham. Author of a double, the Englishman once again allowed Real Madrid to win at home against Osasuna (4-0) on Saturday during the ninth day of La Liga, to maintain first place in the La Liga standings. The former Borussia Dortmund player scored his ninth and tenth goals in nine matches played this season, in all competitions, with the Madrid club.

According to the statistician choosehe also became the first player to score seven goals in his first eight La Liga matches since… Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009.
Technical mastery
Real, who had developed the unfortunate habit of conceding goals at the start of the match, this time made a successful start, managing the tempo thanks to the technical mastery of Modric and Camavinga. Carlo Ancelotti’s players were able to turn their backs at the end of the first half during a highlight for the Basques, to return to the locker room with a goal in advance. Then Bellingham showed why he was the new providential man of the Merengue, by concluding an action that he himself had initiated.
The Englishman slipped the ball between the legs of Basque goalkeeper Sergi Herrera, after requesting a one-two with Valverde (55th, 2-0). “The English who wrote love stories: William Shakespeare and Jude Bellingham”wrote Real Madrid in a post on X accompanied by a photo of N.5 performing his celebration with his arms crossed.
Launched in depth by Valverde, Vinicius won his face-to-face with Herrera to score his first goal this season (65th, 3-0), after missing a month of competition following a hamstring injury . The Spaniard Joselu added a fourth goal with a cross shot on a pivoting pass from the Brazilian (70th, 4-0) before missing the double from a penalty (83rd).
