Real Madrid and Girona have been on the brink of defeat in their league campaign so far this season, but a dramatic comeback from Bellingham has seen them emerge victorious in La Liga round 12.
In a thrilling encounter at Comillas Stadium, Real Madrid were trailing 2-1 at half-time before Bellingham scored a stunning stoppage-time winner to secure victory for his side. The striker, who had previously failed to score in his previous two appearances, proved to be the hero as he stepped up to make it 3-1.
Bellingham’s goal came after a brilliant display by the Spanish international, who had started the match as a substitute, and was able to create space for himself when he ran onto the ball and headed past the goalkeeper. He then calmly curled his shot into the back of the net, leaving no doubts about his quality.
The win also gave Real Madrid a crucial boost ahead of their Champions League clash against Sevilla next weekend. With a game against one of the top teams in Europe on the horizon, they will need to capitalise on any opportunities they get.
Girona, meanwhile, were unable to come anywhere near their hosts in the first half and ultimately lost 2-1 to Barcelona in their last game of the season. Despite the defeat, Girona remain in contention for a place in the La Liga play-offs, with only two points separating them from a potential playoff spot.
Overall, it was another strong performance from Real Madrid in their quest to reach the final of the Europa League, while Girona will now look to bounce back from their disappointing result and continue their season well.
