Real Madrid secured a commanding victory against Girona in La Liga with Jude Bellingham scoring twice before sustaining an ankle injury. Vinicius Jr’s long range shot opened the scoring followed by Bellingham’s goals and Rodrygo’s contribution for a 4-0 lead. Joselu missed a late penalty for Girona.

Bellingham having set a record as the top scoring midfielder in a single La Liga season this century had to be substituted due to his injury. Despite his absence, Real Madrid sits five points clear at the top of the league. 

Bellingham’s remarkable season has seen him become a crucial player for the team but his Champions League appearance against RB Leipzig is in doubt due to the ankle sprain.
