Jude Bellingham's Late Winner Secures Real Madrid's Comeback Victory Over Valencia

Jude Bellingham redeemed himself after a missed penalty, scoring a dramatic late winner to lead 10-man Real Madrid to a 2-1 victory over Valencia on Friday.

 This win propelled Carlo Ancelotti’s side to the top of La Liga, despite the challenges faced during the match, including the sending-off of winger Vinicius Junior.

Valencia initially took the lead with a goal from Hugo Duro, putting pressure on the Madrid side. However, veteran midfielder Luka Modric equalized, setting the stage for a tense finish.

 In stoppage time, Bellingham struck decisively, securing the comeback victory for Real Madrid.

The match was fraught with drama, particularly when Vinicius clashed with Valencia fans—who had previously subjected him to racial abuse in 2022. 

The Brazilian was shown a red card after shoving Valencia goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski in the neck, leaving Madrid with only ten players for the final minutes of the game
