Madrid held at BetisBellingham scored yet another goalDetermined to keep excelling despite minor setbackWHAT HAPPENED?
It was business as usual for the England international as he continued his goalscoring form with yet another strike for his 16th of the season. Despite Bellingham being on the scoresheet, Los Blancos could not walk away with the full bounty as a wonder strike from Aitor Ruibal forced them to share the spoils at Benito Villamarin on Saturday afternoon.
Nonetheless, Bellingham was far from crestfallen and judged the result as a minor setback. Indeed, Madrid remain on top of the pile but could see slip to second position if Girona beat Barcelona on Sunday evening.

Since Bellingham was signed from Borussia Dortmund in a deal worth €131 million (£114m/$138m), he has 16 goals and four assists from 18 games. Out of these 18, he has been judged as the MVP of a match on 10 occasions which shows the influence he has had on the team.

Carlo Ancelotti could ring in the changes when Real Madrid face Union Berlin next in the Champions League as they are already through to the knockouts and have guaranteed themselves top spot in Group C. Bellingham could be potentially rested as he is nursing a shoulder injury which might require surgery. Moreover, he was also spotted clutching his right thigh on a couple of occasions in the final minutes against Betis, which could prompt the manager to leave him on the bench on Tuesday evening.
