Vinicius Jr praises midfielder
WHAT HAPPENED?
Bellingham and Madrid bounced back from their 2-0 Champions League loss to Liverpool in midweek with a win by the same scoreline over Getafe in La Liga on Sunday. And after the 21-year-old took to social media to toast the three points and his goal, his injured team-mate Vinicius congratulated the Englishman, too.
WHAT VINICIUS JUNIOR SAID
Alongside a host of pictures from Madrid's win, Bellingham wrote on Instagram: "¡Victoria muy importante! (A very important WIN!)".
And Vincius Jr commented on the post: "Q[ue] JUGADOR (What a player)".
THE BIGGER PICTURE
After winning a La Liga and Champions League double in 2023/24, Madrid have not been at their best this season. Bellingham has not been as effective or scored nearly as many goals but despite that, Los Blancos are just one point behind league leaders Barcelona and they have a game in hand. So another successful campaign is very much a possibility.
WHAT NEXT?
Bellingham's second-placed Madrid side are away to fourth-placed Athletic Club on Wednesday in their next La Liga outing.
