Bellingham scores at the death for Real Madrid in an incredible 10-man restart! | All Football

Real Madrid may have left it late, but after all, isn’t that their specialty? Jude Bellingham has made a habit of standing up when his team needs him most, and that’s what he did again in their first game in 2025.

Los Blancos struggled away to Valencia, going a goal down in the first half. It took them some time to get into gear, but their ears were found to be cut on several occasions. Bellingham stepped up to take a penalty, and beat Stole Dimitrievski, but not inside the post.

Moments later, Kylian Mbappe found the net, but it was narrowly offside from a Bellingham assist. And it looked as if all hope was lost when Vinicius Junior was sent off with 15 minutes to go for raising his hands to Dimitrievski’s face.

However, Luka Modric equalized for Real Madrid with just five minutes to go, and despite their man disadvantage, it looked most likely. As they pushed high, Bellingham was on a loose pass to convert the winner.
