Jude Bellingham’s ‘Cold’ Gesture to Getafe Goalkeeper After Assuming Real Madrid’s Penalty Duties from Kylian Mbappe
JUDE BELLINGHAM played a pivotal role in helping Real Madrid secure a victory, netting a penalty against Getafe from 12-yards.
However, it was his reaction after effortlessly placing the ball past David Soria that sparked the most conversation.
The England midfielder, 21, made a gesture towards the goalkeeper by pointing at his eyes, indicating that he was keeping an eye on him.
Bellingham’s penalty was executed with a stylish hop, skip, and pause before he rolled the ball into the back of the net.
The match stood at 0-0 when Antonio Rudiger was fouled by Allan Nyom in the box.
Typically, Kylian Mbappe would take the penalty.
However, due to his missed penalty in the 2-0 defeat against Liverpool, Bellingham was entrusted with the task this time.
Mbappe then scored eight minutes later, securing the win for his team.
Real Madrid emerged victorious with a 2-0 scoreline in the La Liga match, maintaining their chase behind leaders Barcelona.
Fans lauded Bellingham online for his ‘cool’ finish and celebration.
One supporter commented: “Jude Bellingham puts the GK down and reminds him he’s watching. Ice-cold.”
Another wrote: “Jude Bellingham too cool with the penalty.”
While a third added: “Jude Bellingham is so smooth.”
Bellingham was substituted at half-time for Madrid.
After the match, manager Carlo Ancelotti stated: “He had a neck issue. He couldn’t go on, but it’s not a serious injury.”
