Real Madrid was expected to easily defeat CD Leganés, who are currently 18th in La Liga. Leganés was seen as an easy opponent in Real Madrid`s quest for the championship against FC Barcelona. However, the match on Sunday unfolded differently. Leganés surprised everyone by taking a 2-1 lead into halftime, scoring their second goal just before the break. Real Madrid`s offense struggled to break through Leganés`s defense in the first half, raising concerns that Leganés might maintain their lead. But Jude Bellingham changed the game early in the second half, scoring a fantastic goal in the 47th minute to tie the score.
This goal, making it 2-2, was crucial. Leganés continued to defend strongly, and it wasn`t until the 76th minute that Real Madrid finally scored the winning goal, with Kylian Mbappé netting the decisive strike to make it 3-2.
EA Sports recognized Bellingham`s impactful performance by including him in Team of the Week 29. This is Bellingham`s second appearance in TOTW this season. His in-form card boasts a 92 overall rating, with impressive stats across various attributes.
