As the Santiago Bernabéu witnessed a rare moment of celebration, Jude Bellingham returned to scoring form to secure Real Madrid a 1-0 Champions League victory over Juventus. The England midfielder, sidelined for a period due to a shoulder injury, scored his first goal of the season, delighting the home fans who serenaded him with “Hey Jude.” Despite dominating possession 66%-34% and taking 27 shots compared to Juventus’ 12, Madrid struggled to convert opportunities, with Aurélien Tchouaméni missing several chances and Kylian Mbappé repeatedly denied by goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio.
Juventus, winless since September, threatened on the counterattack, notably through Dusan Vlahovic and Pierre Kalulu, but Thibaut Courtois made crucial saves, including a one-on-one stop against Vlahovic and a last-minute block on Khéphren Thuram. Vinícius Júnior played a key role in the goal, creating space and unleashing a low shot that hit the post, allowing Bellingham to finish from close range.
Other near misses for Madrid included efforts from Mbappé, Fede Valverde, and Brahim Díaz, while Raúl Asencio and Di Gregorio thwarted Juventus’ late chances. Bellingham described the goal as an “unbelievable” moment, emphasizing its importance for his confidence and for Real Madrid in the group stage.
