Bellingham called the draw with Betis a "bump in the road" and urged his partners to move on

In yesterday's match of the sixteenth round of La Liga, Real Madrid played to a draw away against Betis (1-1). The goal for "Los Blancos" was scored by the star midfielder of Real and the England national team, Jude Bellingham.

This goal marked Bellingham's sixteenth for the season, and despite the loss of points, he urged his teammates not to be disheartened and to continue moving forward. Real Madrid is currently leading in the Spanish league, but they could relinquish the top spot to Girona if they manage to defeat Barcelona today.

Following the match, Jude posted on his social media page, "A small bump in the road, but we take the point and keep moving forward.🤍 #HalaMadrid"

Since Bellingham's move from Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid during the summer transfer window for €131 million, he has scored sixteen goals and provided four assists in eighteen matches. Notably, he has been recognized as the most valuable player in ten out of these eighteen games, highlighting his tremendous influence on the team.

There's speculation that Carlo Ancelotti might not include Bellingham in the lineup for the Champions League match against Union Berlin on Tuesday, as Real has already secured the top spot in Group C. Potentially, the coach might grant Bellingham some rest, especially considering his shoulder injury, which might necessitate surgery. Furthermore, towards the end of the match against Betis, there were visible signs that the Englishman was experiencing discomfort in his thigh, indicating a possible injury and potentially compelling Ancelotti to keep Bellingham on the substitutes' bench.
