Jude Bellingham shines in his first match with Real Madrid

Sport by : (PRESSBEE) -

Jude Bellingham said the crowd's reaction to his 95th-minute goal in Real Madrid's 2-1 comeback win over Getafe on Saturday was the "loudest moment I've heard in a stadium."

Borja Mayoral put Getafe ahead in the 11th minute at the Santiago Bernabeu before Joselu levelled after half-time and Bellingham, 20, scored a dramatic late winner, his fifth goal in four appearances.

The result means Madrid have taken maximum points this season and top the LaLiga table with 12 points.

Real Madrid TV. "I can't believe it to be honest. When [the crowd] were singing 'Hey Jude' at the end, I got goosebumps. I just wanted to turn and stand still and listen to it.

"My legs were shaking," Bellingham said. "I know that I was brought in for these kind of moments. They're the kind of moments I know I can deliver for this team. I want to keep doing it and keep making sure the fans go home happy."

"Four out of four. You can't forget that the first three have been away from home. They are very tough games playing in the opposition's ground and with the rival fans, and we got them out of the way. Today we played well. We conceded a goal but the reaction was good. We won and you can't ask for more."

"The moment of the goal was the loudest I've ever heard on a football pitch. I couldn't believe it. My legs were shaking when they chanted my name at the end of the game. I was signed for this and I have to keep it up. I felt the support every time I made a play. I felt the support of the fans. I don't know what I've done to deserve it but I'm very grateful. Every time I put on this shirt I give one hundred per cent and I hope to continue like this."

 Bellingham's ability to tread the line between confidence and arrogance, fitting at a club where a supreme belief in one's own superiority is encouraged.

And even though the season is less than a month old, it has helped make the man from Stourbridge an instant hit in Madrid.

Speaking after the game, Bellingham told Real Madrid TV: "It's the loudest moment I've heard in a stadium. Happily it was for my goal.
