I wasn’t at my best – Bellingham’s shock admission after brace against Barcelona

Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham has claimed he was not at his best despite scoring twice against Barcelona on Saturday.

The 20-year-old proved to be the match-winner in his first Clasico appearance.

Bellingham had a quiet first half before levelling from a distance in the 68th minute.

He then broke Catalan hearts in stoppage time with a close-range finish to open a four-match lead over their eternal rivals in the LaLiga title race.

After the game, Bellingham told Real Madrid TV: “Today, I wasn’t at my best level. It’s about combining with those above and being able to help the team. Today, I wasn’t at all well, but I was able to score two goals.

“Right now, everything is going well for me. I prepare the games well. I am training well, and I just want to learn and improve.”
