da luck: The England international scored twice in the final quarter of the game in Barcelona to earn the visitors the unlikeliest of 2-1 victories
da mrbet: Jude Bellingham just can't stop scoring. The quality of the opposition, the enormity of the occasion, it makes no difference to the England international, who netted twice as a struggling Real Madrid came from 1-0 down to triumph 2-1 over Barcelona on Saturday afternoon.
Barcelona had dominated for two thirds of the Liga clash at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys and looked set to claim victory in the first Clasico of the season thanks to Ilkay Gundogan's first goal for the Catalan club.
However, Xavi's side were ultimately punished for their profligacy, with the hosts wasting one chance after another to kill the game before Bellingham levelled with a stunning 30-yard strike and then won the game for Madrid with a close-range finish in the dying seconds.
Below, GOAL rates all of the Madrid players on show in Barcelona…
Getty Goalkeeper & Defence
Kepa Arrizabalaga (7/10):
Nothing he could have done about the Gundogan goal, having been let down by those in front of him, but he kept his side in the game with a great save from Ronald Araujo. A pivotal moment in hindsight.
Dani Carvajal (8/10):
One of the few Madrid players to perform anywhere close to their usual level, with the right-back serving as a decent attacking outlet, as underlined by his role in the winner, while also making a crucial last-ditch challenge on Joao Felix, who was in on goal after nutmegging Rudiger.
Antonio Rudiger (6/10):
Made plenty of important clearances for the visitors, though he was also embarrassed by Joao Felix.
David Alaba (5/10):
Got the nod ahead of Nacho to partner Rudiger and did not justify Ancelotti's faith him, with his weak tackle allowing Gundogan to break the deadlock early on.
Ferland Mendy (4/10):
Rested during the week but you wouldn't have known. Contributed absolutely nothing before being replaced just after the break.

Federico Valverde (5/10):
Brought his usual level of energy to the game but nowhere near as effective or influential as he can be.
Aurelien Tchouameni (6/10):
Solid in possession while he also made a couple of key interceptions at a time when Madrid were in danger of being over-run.
Toni Kroos (5/10):
Won the ball back several times and used it well, but struggled with Barca's dynamism in the middle of the park, as typified by the way in which Gavi picked his pocket midway through the first half.
Jude Bellingham (9/10):
Only 20 but he's already proven himself a big-game player. Wasn't in the game at all until he thumped home a sensational equaliser from distance and then ghosted into the box to win the game for his side in injury time. World-class. It's that simple.
Getty Attack
Rodrygo (3/10):
The hope was that the goal against Braga might spark the Brazilian into life. It didn't. A dreadful display.
Vinicius Junior (4/10):
The picture of frustration during the first half, with Vinicius once again struggling to get anything out of Araujo. Second half wasn't much better, truth be told, but he kept running at Barca right until the end.
Getty Subs & Manager
Joselu (5/10):
Replaced Rodrygo up front for the final half hour but didn't make much of an impact.
Luka Modric (7/10):
Part of a double-substitution with Joselu, coming on in place of Kroos, and played a pivotal role in Madrid picking up a point that looked unlikely when he entered the fray, with his passing and penetration.
Eduardo Camavinga (6/10):
Took over at left-back from Mendy six minutes into the second half and proved an immediate upgrade, particularly with his forays down the left flank.
Carlo Ancelotti (7/10):
The Bellingham goal may have come out of nowhere but the coach's changes were undeniably key to Madrid's final-quarter improvement. Though one could suggest that was evidence that Ancelotti got his starting line-up all wrong…
