Following Jude Bellingham’s goal in Real Madrid’s 2-0 victory over Getafe, Vinicius Junior showered his teammate with accolades.

WHAT OCCURRED?

Bellingham and Madrid defeated Getafe by the same result in La Liga on Sunday, bouncing back from their 2-0 Champions League setback to Liverpool in midweek. Additionally, his injured teammate Vinicius hailed the Englishman after the 21-year-old celebrated his goal and the three points on social media.VINICIUS JUNIOR’S COMMENTS

Bellingham posted a number of images from Madrid’s victory to Instagram along with the caption, “¡Victoria muy importante! (A crucial victory!).

Additionally, Vincius Jr. left the comment, “Q[ue] JUGADOR (What a player)” on the post.

Madrid hasn’t played at their best this season after winning both La Liga and the Champions League in 2023–2024. Even though Bellingham hasn’t been as productive or scored as many goals, Los Blancos still have a game in hand and are only one point behind league leaders Barcelona. Thus, there is a good chance that another effort will be successful.

UP NEXT?

In their upcoming La Liga match, Bellingham’s second-place Madrid team will travel to fourth-place Athletic Club on Wednesday.
