Nadal celebrates Bellingham's goal with family

He celebrated like crazy after Jude Bellingham scored the winning goal against Barcelona in second-half stoppage time.

Nadal jumped from his seat and pumped his fists after the English star gave Real Madrid a 3-2 lead.

The 20-year-old found the back of the net after Lucas Vazquez's cross managed to reach him as he made his run towards the box.

He hit the ball perfectly with his left foot, smashing his shot attempt into the roof of the net.

Joining the 22-time Grand Slam champion in the celebration was his sister, Maria Isabel, and his father, Sebastian.

Nadal makes Madrid Masters return

The 14-time French Open champion is currently in the Spanish capital as he will be competing in the Mutua Madrid Open this week.

The 37-year-old is embarking on what is likely his final season on the ATP Tour. The 'King of Clay' competed last week at the Barcelona Open, where he lost in the second round to Alex de Minaur in straight sets.

Nadal loves playing in Madrid, winning the ATP Masters 1000 event a record five times. He lifted the title in 2005, 2010, 2013, 2014, and 2017, beating Ivan Ljubicic, Roger Federer, Stan Wawrinka, Kei Nishikori, and Dominic Thiem in the finals of those events.

Bellingham and Vazquez's celebration goes viral

Sports Brief also recently reported on Bellingham and Lucas Vazquez's goal celebration in El Clasico.

The Real Madrid pair performed a hilarious dance routine after the Englishman scored the game-winner.

They locked arms and danced around near the corner flag, much to the delight of their teammates and fans.
