Real Madrid Maintain Perfect Champions League Start With Bellingham's Winning Goal Against Juventus

Real Madrid secured a 1-0 victory over Juventus at the Santiago Bernabeu, maintaining their perfect record in this season's UEFA Champions League group stage. Jude Bellingham scored the decisive goal in the 57th minute, capitalizing on a rebound from a Vinicius Jr. shot, marking his first goal of the season following shoulder surgery. Despite Juventus' resilient defense and goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio's ten saves, Real Madrid dominated with numerous attempts, including key contributions from Kylian Mbappe and Brahim Diaz. Thibaut Courtois, playing his 300th match for Madrid, made crucial saves to preserve the clean sheet. Juventus extended their winless streak to seven matches across all competitions, while Real Madrid's manager Xabi Alonso praised Bellingham's strong performance and viewed the win as a positive lead-up to their upcoming El Clásico against Barcelona. The match highlighted Real Madrid's offensive control and Juventus' cautious, counter-attacking approach, with notable moments including a near-equalizer by Filip Kostic and a key save denying Dusan Vlahovic's scoring chance.
