Bellingham shines as Madrid beat Barcelona

It was almost the perfect day for Real Madrid as Xabi Alonso's side beat Barcelona 2-1 in El Clasico to go five points clear at the top of La Liga.

Jude Bellingham got his first league goal and assist of the season after a difficult few months recovering from shoulder surgery.

Kylian Mbappe continued his lethal form in front of goal, while Alonso's tactics in his first Clasico in the dugout worked like a charm.

But then the Vinicius Junior question reared its head once more.
