Jude Bellingham is back to his best for Real Madrid, scoring his fifth goal in as many games during a match against Girona on Saturday night. After a challenging start to the season, where he failed to find the net in his first six La Liga outings of the 2024-25 season, the English superstar has made a remarkable comeback with goals in his last five matches.

With Barcelona currently leading La Liga and Kylian Mbappé’s adjustment to life at the Bernabéu facing some hurdles, Bellingham’s resurgence is a significant boost for manager Carlo Ancelotti. After netting against Osasuna, Leganés, Getafe, and Athletic Club, Bellingham continued his scoring streak against Girona.

In the first half, with the game still goalless, Bellingham made a powerful run into the box and unleashed a stunning shot past former Tottenham goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga, giving his side the lead. His goal was a fitting reward for a dominant performance in the opening 45 minutes, during which he created two big chances, completed 29 passes, achieved 100% success in dribbles, won both duels, made three clearances, and ultimately scored the critical goal.

While Bellingham is yet to score outside of La Liga this season, he is clearly regaining his form. Last season, he emerged as a key player in European football, excelling in his debut campaign at the Bernabéu. He played a crucial role in helping Real Madrid secure both the Champions League and La Liga titles, finishing the season with 19 goals in 28 La Liga appearances, four in the Champions League, and 13 assists across all competitions. His impressive tally of 36 contributions in just 42 matches established him as one of the standout players in the squad.
