Real Madrid delivered a commanding 5-1 win over Red Bull Salzburg at the Santiago Bernabeu, further securing their position in the Champions League group stage. Despite the overall team performance, it was Jude Bellingham who earned special recognition from manager Carlo Ancelotti for his pivotal role in the match, contributing two key assists in a dominant display. Even though he didn’t score, Bellingham’s influence was undeniable.
Vinicius Junior, along with Rodrygo, also impressed, but Ancelotti singled out Bellingham for praise. Meanwhile, Dani Ceballos continues to earn the trust of the coach, with plans for him to remain in the starting lineup due to his exceptional form.
However, there was a notable exclusion for Ferland Mendy, who was dropped from the upcoming La Liga match after a less-than-expected performance against Salzburg.
After the match, Vinicius Jr. shared an exciting message about Kylian Mbappe, emphasizing the team’s collective effort to support the French star in becoming the top scorer across all competitions. This statement highlighted the unity within the squad as they continue to push for success.
