Bellingham's Viral Gesture to the Girona Fans, Mbappé Scores and He Looked Like Vinícius

The English footballer left the field with some physical discomfort

One of the bad news that Real Madrid's thrashing of Girona has left is the injury of Jude Bellingham . The English footballer, after another good performance so far this season, had to leave the field of play earlier than Carlo Ancelotti wanted.

The physical problems of the Real Madrid player threaten his continuity in the team at one of the most important moments of the current season, which is why the coaching staff decided to change him . This decision, designed to avoid further problems, left a very striking reaction on the part of the Girona fans.

Because Bellingham's change came shortly before Kylian Mbappé scored the goal , which made the final score 0-3. While the English '5' was running around the outside of the field, the striker from Bondy scored his tenth goal in this national league championship. The insults received by Bellingham while he was passing through a Montilivi end were answered without words .

The English attacking midfielder simply looked at the fans there and pointed to the other side of the field , where Kylian Mbappé and his teammates were already celebrating the goal . This way of ignoring the insults provoked even more anger in the Montilivi stands, who showed no mercy to one of Real Madrid's best players this season.

From Less to More

The recovery of the best Jude Bellingham is in process . His poor start to the season, with inexplicable tactical decisions by Carlo Ancelotti, is giving way to a fantastic version of the British '5' . Games like those of the last few days, including the defeat at San Mamés, are the perfect example of his upwardtrajectory .

Real Madrid's success depends largely on him . It also depends on Kylian Mbappé , who, at least for the moment, can't find a way to get back to his best records . Vinícius' absence is being a test of leadership , adding up to the most complicated and important games that the white club has ahead of it.

So far, that is true. Getting good results in the December matches is essential to increase the chances of winning La Liga and the Champions League . Although it is true that Real Madrid has a chance in both tournaments, it is necessary to consolidate a winning streak to avoid most of the current doubts .

Only Jude Bellingham could be the one to lead the team on that 'mission'. At least while Kylian Mbappé is unable to rediscover his best form and Vinícius remains injured . The work of the English '5' is helping a lot to a Carlo Ancelotti who is once again on the tightrope .
