Jude Bellingham said his enjoyment of playing football is behind his strong form after scoring in Real Madrid’s emphatic 4-0 victory over Malaga in the third round of La Liga.
“I am enjoying the game a lot, which is why I am playing well,” Bellingham said after the match, having helped Real Madrid maintain their perfect start to the league campaign.
The England midfielder opened the scoring in the 19th minute as Real Madrid secured a convincing win. The result moved the club on to nine points and left them top of the La Liga table.
Bellingham also shared his thoughts on his position during the post-match discussion. His comments came after another influential display in a Real Madrid side which produced four goals against Malaga.
The midfielder was substituted during the match and received an ovation from the Santiago Bernabeu crowd as he left the field. That reaction from the home supporters formed another part of his post-match reflections.
He was also asked about the depth available within the Real Madrid squad, with the club now leading the standings after three rounds of La Liga action.
The 4-0 scoreline gave Real Madrid a clear margin of victory, while Bellingham’s goal added to the significance of his contribution. His early strike set the tone for a result that strengthened the club’s position at the top of the table.
For Bellingham, the central theme of his comments was the link between enjoying his football and producing effective performances. He described the pleasure he is taking from playing as a reason for the level he has reached at the start of the campaign.
The ovation at the Santiago Bernabeu offered a further indication of the response to his display. After being replaced, Bellingham was applauded by the supporters, having scored one of Real Madrid’s four goals.
Real Madrid’s record now stands at three wins from three matches, giving them nine points and first place in the La Liga table. Their latest success came against Malaga, with the final scoreline reading 4-0.
Bellingham’s goal arrived after 19 minutes, and his performance was followed by discussion of his role, the reception he received when substituted and the strength of the squad around him. Those were the main subjects of his reaction after Real Madrid’s latest league victory.
