Vinicius Junior made sure the lead lasted for just 12 minutes when he scored from the penalty spot to level the score.

There was some controversy when Barca thought they had restored their lead through teen sensation, Lamine Yamal, but the referee scratched it off without the aid of goal-line technology after claiming the ball had crossed the line, Eurosport reports.

Regardless, Fermin Lopez scored with barely 20 minutes left on the clock, but just as in the first half, Real Madrid rallied back, with Lucas scoring the equaliser.

The Spaniard, who was playing in a makeshift right-back role, then turned provider in stoppage time by delivering a tailor-measured cross, which was slammed home by Bellingham for the winner.

It was the former Borussia Dortmund star's third goal in as many games played against Barca this season.
