Jude Bellingham finally scored his first Real Madrid goal of the season against Juventus on Wednesday night.
The England star, 22, has endured a difficult start to the season after suffering a shoulder injury which kept him out for weeks.
The knock ruled him out of Thomas Tuchel’s England squad at the start of September before he returned to action later that month.
But Tuchel raised eyebrows earlier this month when he omitted Bellingham from another international squad despite the attacking midfielder being declared fully fit.
Now, Bellingham has sent a message to the German by scoring his first goal of the season.
In the second half of Real Madrid’s clash with Italian giants Juventus, the former Borussia Dortmund star put his side 1-0 up with a close-range effort.
After Vinicus Junior weaved past a visitors’ defender and fired an effort towards the far post, it rebounded straight to Bellingham who, baring down on an open-goal, couldn’t miss.
