During the post-match celebrations, when questioned about his thoughts on the victory by the club’s media, Bellingham humorously responded with “absolutely lovely,” delivered in his distinctive northern British accent.
Real Madrid’s dominance in the game was solidified by Brazilian international Vinicius Junior, who secured a hat-trick in the first half. La Liga heavyweights, under the leadership of Rodrygo, continued to score goals, exacerbating Barcelona’s woes. The Catalan giants suffered a devastating 4-1 defeat, further compounded by Ronald Araujo’s expulsion 19 minutes before the match’s conclusion. Although Bellingham didn’t contribute to the scoreline, his significant impact on the game earned him a hearty applause from the fans as he exited the field.
The English midfielder and his teammates will find little time for respite, as they promptly return to the Spanish capital to prepare for their Copa del Rey round of 16 clash against city rivals Atletico Madrid scheduled for Thursday, January 18.
