Jude Bellingham was on target as Real Madrid recorded a 3-0 win against Mallorca in the Spanish Super Cup semi-finals on Thursday.
The England International opened his Spanish Super Cup account to help Real Madrid ease to a 3-0 victory in Thursday’s semi-final clash with Mallorca in Jeddah Saudi Arabia.
Bellingham showcased great composure to pass the ball home after Rodrygo had struck the post with a header and Kylian Mbappe had been denied by Dominik Greif in the Mallorca goal.
The former Borussia Dortmund star in the process has now emulated David Beckham’s achievement at Real Madrid Bellingham joined an exclusive club with his goal just after the hour mark.

Bellingham followed in Beckham’s footsteps by becoming just the second Englishman to find the net in the Spanish Super Cup.
Beckham became the first English player to net in the Spanish Super Cup when he troubled the scorers in the 2003 edition – back when the competition was simply a two-legged affair between the La Liga champions and the Copa del Rey winners.
Like Bellingham, Beckham’s Super Cup goal also took place against Mallorca, netting the third goal in a 3-0 second-leg victory to help Real Madrid overturn a 2-1 deficit from the away leg.
Bellingham’s goalscoring form continues. As a result of his goal in the semi-final, Bellingham has now scored in seven of his last nine competitive appearances for Real Madrid.
Overall, the England international has scored nine goals and provided seven assists in 23 matches in all competitions this term.
Real Madrid will be seeking revenge in Sunday’s showdown after suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat in their most recent meeting with Barcelona in October.
