Jude Bellingham's stunning double snatched Real Madrid a 2-1 comeback victory at Barcelona in his first La Liga Clasico on Saturday.
The England international, who has started his Madrid career in remarkable goalscoring form, unleashed a rocket into the top corner from distance after Ilkay Gundogan had sent hosts Barcelona ahead at the Olympic Stadium.
Bellingham's brace sent Madrid to the top of La Liga, ahead of Girona on goal difference, with both teams four points ahead of Barcelona in third. "What was surprising today was his shot, he's always arriving in the box, today he scored a stupendous goal from in front of the area.""He can get to 20 or 25 goals, because he has started very well," added Ancelotti."The summary is simple, we had 60 very good minutes where we scored a goal, they had 20 to 25 minutes and they scored two," said coach Xavi.
However it was another midfielder playing for the first time in the Clasico who broke the deadlock -- Barcelona's summer arrival Gundogan. Fermin Lopez, one of the emerging young Barcelona La Masia academy products, then slapped a shot against the post.
