Jude Bellingham has had a brilliant season for Real Madrid. Ever since he joined Los Blancos in the summer of 2023, he has played 18 games and has scored 16 goals, with the most recent coming against Real Betis in a draw. 

He scored in the 55th minute after being found by a brilliant ball by Brahim Diaz. As he slotted the ball past keeper Rui Silva, he ran to the corner to celebrate his well-deserved goal. As he pulled out his signature celebration, spreading his arms, he noticed a Betis fan in the front row showing both his middle fingers.

Bellingham just blew a kiss to the fan, pointing at him, and returned to celebrate with his teammates. Unfortunately, the goal wasn’t enough to guarantee them the win as Betis equalized just 11 minutes later. Right back Aitor Ruibal dribbled from the right wing and the edge of the box took a shot. Andriy Lunin dived to save the ball but the ball was away from his reach, and the score now being 1-1.
