Bellingham, who had earned the title of La Liga Player of the Month due to his exceptional form, once again demonstrated his clutch abilities in the second consecutive game.

His dramatic 95th-minute strike secured a thrilling 2-1 victory against Getafe, per Eurosport.

Madrid claws from defeat to seal win

For Bellingham and his Real Madrid comrades, this was their much-anticipated debut on the hallowed home turf, Santiago Bernabeu, following three away fixtures to commence the season.

Their initial joy was marred as former Madridista Borja Mayoral opened the scoring as early as the 11th minute.

However, a spirited second-half resurgence by the record Spanish champions saw Carlo Ancelotti's team stage a remarkable comeback.

Joselu netted the equalizer in the 47th minute, and Bellingham sealed the dramatic turnaround in stoppage time with his memorable goal.

Bellingham's nostalgic moment with fans

As Bellingham found the back of the net, the entire stadium reverberated with thunderous applause and chants, paying tribute to the 20-year-old for his awe-inspiring performance.

When quizzed on the nostalgic moment given to him by the supporters, the former Borussia Dortmund stalwart said as quoted by MadridXtra.

“My legs were shaking when the Bernabéu was chanting my name.”
