Spanish giants Real Madrid emerged victorious, securing their position at the top of Champions League Group C.
Real Madrid’s English midfielder #5 Jude Bellingham celebrates with Real Madrid’s Spanish forward #14 Joselu after scoring his team’s third goal during the Spanish Liga football match between Girona FC and Real Madrid CF at the Montilivi stadium in Girona on September 30, 2023.
That unlucky rebound maintained Madrid’s perfect start to the group stage and moved them three points clear of both the Italian champions and Braga, 3-2 winners over bottom side Union Berlin earlier on Tuesday. Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham scored the away side’s other goals on former Napoli coach Ancelotti’s return to southern Italy, giving Madrid a half-time lead after Leo Ostigard headed the hosts in front in the 19th minute.
Madrid were more dangerous in the opening exchanges, Rodrygo and Bellingham having respective efforts stopped by Meret and Mathias Olivera in the first 11 minutes. And Bellingham silenced the previously boisterous crowd seven minutes later with a touch of pure class, collecting a pass in midfield before bursting forward, brushing off Ostigard and thumping home.
