In the Spanish capital, Real Madrid triumphed over Getafe at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, securing their first win of the season and extending their lead in La Liga to five points. With two games left in the season, the Spaniards looked set for a comfortable victory but were denied by the opposition's impressive attacking play.
Bellingham, on loan from Burnley, scored twice in the second half as the visitors fell behind early in the game. However, with only ten minutes remaining, the striker found himself in great position after a header from a corner kick. The ball was played back into his path and he headed past goalkeeper David De Gea and into the net, giving Real Madrid a deserved lead.
The victory was a major boost for the team, who had struggled throughout the campaign without Bellingham. He has been one of the standout performers for the club this season, scoring seven goals in all competitions and providing vital assists. His goal against Getafe gave him a chance to prove his worth once again and secure his place in the starting line-up.
As the match ended, Bellingham celebrated his hat-trick with a celebratory hug from teammates. "It feels like we've won three games in a row," he said afterwards. "I'm so happy."
With just four games remaining in the season, Real Madrid will have a lot of work to do to maintain their momentum. They must continue to focus on improving defensively and finding ways to score goals themselves. But with Bellingham's goals and the support of their fans, they have every confidence that they can reach their full potential and become a force to be reckoned with in La Liga.
