Real Madrid’s young midfielder, Jude Bellingham, surprisingly admitted that he wasn’t at his best despite scoring two crucial goals against Barcelona in his debut Clasico appearance.

The 20-year-old played a decisive role in securing victory for his team. Bellingham had a relatively quiet first half, but he made his mark with a long-range goal in the 68th minute. He then sealed the match with a close-range finish in stoppage time, dealing a significant blow to Barcelona’s LaLiga title hopes.

After the game, Bellingham humbly stated to Real Madrid TV, “Today, I wasn’t performing at my highest level. It’s all about working together with my teammates and contributing to the team’s success. I wasn’t feeling my best today, but I managed to score two goals.”

Despite his remarkable performance, Bellingham remained focused on self-improvement, saying, “Currently, things are going well for me. I prepare for matches meticulously, I’m training diligently, and I’m eager to continue learning and getting better.”
