Sunday night, Real Madrid secured a 2-0 victory against Getafe at the Santiago Bernabéu, delivering an impressive performance in La Liga after a period of criticism.
This win came just days after a frustrating 0-2 defeat to Liverpool. Carlo Ancelotti’s men capitalized on the opportunity presented by FC Barcelona’s loss, as they were beaten 2-1 by Las Palmas.
The standout performer for Madrid was Jude Bellingham. The English international scored a penalty and provided a stunning assist for Kylian Mbappé, reaffirming his crucial role in the squad. However, he was unable to finish the match. Bellingham was substituted at halftime by Arda Güler after leaving the pitch due to an injury.
After the match, Carlo Ancelotti explained in the mixed zone that Jude Bellingham was suffering from a neck problem, which prevented him from continuing the game. “Jude Bellingham had a neck problem. In a few days, he will be able to recover,” he said, appearing reassuring yet cautious ahead of the crucial trip to Bilbao on Wednesday.
Beyond this setback, Ancelotti also discussed Fran García and the team’s rotations. While pleased with García’s recent performances, he acknowledged the strong competition from Ferland Mendy, a two-time Champions League winner. The coach emphasized that substitutes must work hard to earn playing time, justifying his tactical choices for this match.
With this victory, Real Madrid regains confidence, but Jude Bellingham’s health remains a question mark for the fans.
