In yet another match, Jude Bellingham found the back of the net for Real Madrid, contributing the team’s first goal against Villarreal in La Liga.
Bellingham broke the deadlock with a superb close-range header in the 25th minute of the match.
While the ex-Borussia Dortmund captain earned accolades for his goal-scoring technique, Luka Modric’s assist drew admiration.
The former Ballon d’Or winner delivered a brilliant no-look first-touch cross into the box, setting up Bellingham.
It marked his 17th goal in all competitions for Madrid in just 20 games.
Modric shows his class
According to reports, Modric marked his 14th appearance for Los Blancos, starting the game against Villarreal and securing his third assist with the pass for Bellingham. He also scored a goal in the second half as Madrid claimed a 4-1 victory, taking them to the top of the table. They have played one more game than Girona, who could surpass Carlo Ancelotti’s side with a win in their upcoming match.
Modric, eager for more playing time, demonstrated his enduring class when given the chance. As reported by SportBible, he has been linked to a potential departure from Santiago Bernabeu and has received multiple offers.”
