Bellingham guides Real Madrid to a narrow 2-1 victory against Braga in the Champions League and becomes the top scorer of the tournament.

Despite not being named the outstanding player of the match, Jude Bellingham still left a significant impact by scoring a goal, contributing to Real Madrid’s 2-1 victory over Braga on their away turf in the third match of Group C in the Champions League.

Bellingham and Real Madrid flourished together

In the first two matches of Group C, Real Madrid secured victories. As a result, Coach Ancelotti and his team were very confident in their away match against Braga.

Over the past weekend, Real Madrid didn’t perform exceptionally well and had to struggle to secure a draw against Sevilla. However, that didn’t significantly affect the morale of Real Madrid, and they achieved their goal of earning three points against a Braga side that is clearly inferior in terms of quality and reputation.

In this match, Rodrygo exemplified Real Madrid’s advantage by scoring the opening goal in the 16th minute.

In the 61st minute, Bellingham doubled the lead for the away team. Notably, this was Bellingham’s third goal in the Champions League this season, placing him at the top of the goal-scoring chart along with Gabriel Jesus (Arsenal), Brais Mendez (Sociedad), Julian Alvarez (Man City), and Rasmus Hojlund (Man Utd).

In the 63rd minute, Alvaro Djalo scored a goal for Braga. However, that was all the Portuguese team could achieve in this match. With a final score of 2-1, Real Madrid maintained their perfect winning record in the Champions League and topped Group C with 9 points.

Speaking after the match, Coach Ancelotti stated, “This was not an easy game. Before Braga scored, I thought we had everything under control. However, things became more difficult afterward with significant changes. Nevertheless, our lines of play were well-controlled, and the entire team managed to secure the victory with a 2-1 scoreline.”

Coach Ancelotti also commented on Bellingham, saying, “He is a very talented player, even though this is his first season playing for Real Madrid. Bellingham continues to score goals, and that brings about positive outcomes for both him and the team. Bellingham faced a few challenges in this match, but I hope he will be fine.”
