Jude Bellingham scores late as Real Madrid beat Barcelona to move 11 points clear at the top of La Liga
Real Madrid are now on the cusp of winning their 36th La Liga title
They face Bayern Munich in the semi
Real Madrid and Barcelona met in the Spanish Super Cup final on Sunday night, with Real Madrid emerging victorious thanks to a late goal from Jude Bellingham. The win moves Real Madrid 11 points clear at the top of La Liga, and they are now on the cusp of winning their 36th league title.
Barcelona started the game brightly and took the lead through Robert Lewandowski in the 12th minute. However, Real Madrid equalised just six minutes later through Karim Benzema. The game remained level until the 83rd minute, when Bellingham scored a stunning goal to give Real Madrid the lead. Barcelona pushed for an equaliser, but Real Madrid held on to secure the win.
The win was a big one for Real Madrid, as it gives them a significant advantage in the title race. They now have a 11-point lead over Barcelona, and they have a game in hand. Real Madrid also face Bayern Munich in the semi-finals of the Champions League, and a win in that competition would give them a treble.
For Barcelona, the defeat was a major setback. They are now 11 points behind Real Madrid in the title race, and they have a tough task ahead of them if they want to win the league. Barcelona also face Manchester United in the Europa League knockout round play-offs, and a defeat in that competition would be a major disappointment.
