Real Madrid secured a 3‑0 victory over Racing Santander on Sunday, with Jude Bellingham scoring his 50th goal for the Spanish giants in all competitions.
The visitors earned an early 11th‑minute penalty after Matteo Prati fouled Kylian Mbappé; the Frenchman converted from the spot. Bellingham doubled the lead in the 21st minute with a half‑way‑line drive that beat the keeper and found an empty net.
Yan Diomande added a third before halftime, volleying home a corner‑cleared effort. Mbappé hit the post in the 59th minute with a curling shot from the edge of the box.
A late Racing penalty was overturned by the VAR after a review ruled that Aurelien Tchouameni’s handball was accidental and occurred after the ball deflected off his boot.
Bellingham’s goal marked his 50th for Real since joining from Borussia Dortmund in 2023. The 23‑year‑old has made 154 appearances, recording 37 assists.
Jose Mourinho gave former Liverpool full‑back Trent Alexander‑Arnold a rare start, with the defender almost providing an early assist before Arda Guler’s cut‑back went wide.
The win keeps Real on a five‑match winning streak and just three points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona, whom they beat 2‑1 in their previous match.
Real have lost only two games this season, with their last defeat coming against Atletico Madrid on September 20.
