Jude Bellingham has all-but sealed Real Madrid the LaLiga title with a stoppage-time winner against Barcelona on Sunday night.
The England superstar fired into the roof of the net with his left foot as he latched onto a cross from the right to hand Los Blancos a 3-2 El Clasico win at the Bernabeu.
The result sees Real Madrid go 11 points clear of Barca at the top of the table with just six matches left this season.
With just over 20 minutes to play it appeared Real Madrid were destined to lose when Fermin Lopez put Barca 2-1 up from close range.
But Carlo Ancelotti’s men got level on 73 minutes when Lucas Vazquez equalised.
And in the second minute of stoppage time Bellingham fired in the winner as he shot into the roof of the net as he sneaked in at the back post.

Bellingham has been the El Clasico hero for a second time this season having scored the two goals in Real Madrid’s 2-1 win in the reverse fixture.
The 20-year-old now has 17 goals in LaLiga, 21 in all competitions in what’s been a stellar debut campaign in Spain.
As well as banging in the goals, Bellingham has been supplying plenty of assists for teammates having accrued ten assists in all competitions.
He’s set to claim his first career league title, while Real Madrid are still in the Champions League having beaten reigning champions Manchester City on penalties earlier in the week.
Bellingham is also expected to play a key role in England’s Euro 2024 campaign with the Three Lions one of the favourites to achieve glory in Germany.
