REAL MADRID fans joke that Borussia Dortmund are being paid more for Jude Bellingham after his latest exploits.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side trailed 2-0 at home to Almeria before a sensational comeback to win 3-2.
Bellingham spiced up the second-half performance by coolly scoring a penalty after 57 minutes.
Vinicius Junior equalised ten minutes later to set up a frantic finish.
Real Madrid looked for the winning goal and got it in the 99th minute thanks to Dani Carvajal.
The right-back stabbed from close range after Bellingham’s attack, then ran the length of the pitch to help his way to goal.
It is the 18th time the midfielder has scored for Los Blancos since moving from Dortmund for £115m in the summer.
And his total assists for the season increased to eight.
While Bellingham continues to shine, Real Madrid fans would be happy to send some extra money to Dortmund as a thank you.
One of them said: “We literally stole Dortmund as part of the Bellingham deal. We’ve paid them £100 million more. “
Another added: “The boy carries the biggest club in the world on his back. “
A third commented: “99 minute into the game and Bellingham breaks his own to deliver the coup de grâce. What a player he is. “
More said: “Bellingham is anything else. This guy went to Real Madrid and he’s shining, he’s scoring goals, providing assists, he’s doing everything. “
The 20-year-old revelled in victory, tweeting after the game: “And breathe.”
He will have plenty of time to recover from his impressive run in the final, as he is suspended for Real Madrid’s next match against Las Palmas on Saturday after receiving a fifth yellow card.
