The cross comes in but it’s cleared away and that is that.
Bellingham has won it for Madrid!
The young Englishman writes the latest chapter in his dream start at Madrid. That’s now 13 goals in as many games to inspire a dramatic comeback for his side against Barcelona.
Gundogan’s strike had put Barca ahead but Bellingham’s long-range strike, followed by a deft finish in the 91st minute, means it’s the away side who have somehow come away with all three points.

GOAL! Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid (Bellingham, 90+1 mins)
He’s done it again! The right place and the right time and Bellingham may well have won it at the death for Madrid.
The ball comes in from the right and a deflection off Modric lifts it over Martinez and into the path of Bellingham who bundles it past Ter Stegen at close range.
He’s not been involved for large parts of this game but his two moments of magic in his first Clasico have surely won it for Madrid!
