• Erling Haaland has praised Jude Bellingham for his El Clasico performance
• Bellingham scored a brace as Real Madrid defeated Barcelona
• The Englishman has now scored 13 goals in 13 appearances for Real Madrid

Jude Bellingham stole the headlines again as Real Madrid came from behind to defeat arch-rivals Barcelona in the first El Clasico of the season, causing Manchester City forward Erling Haaland to react.

The 20-year-old midfielder took matters into his own hands in the second half after Madrid had trailed to a Gundogan goal early on, driving Los Blancos level from a long-range shot.

Bellingham would go on to secure a 2-1 victory for Carlo Ancelotti’s men in added time, ghosting in unmarked to poke the winner beyond Marc Andre Stergen, much to the delights of his former teammate Erling Haaland.

The Manchester City forward would go on to social media to describe Bellingham as ‘unreal’ following his former teammate’s performance against Barcelona, which sees Real Madrid extend their lead at the top of La Liga, GOAL reports.
