Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior grabbed a hat-trick, while Jude Bellingham came back from a goal drought to give Real Madrid a 4-0 victory over Osasuna at the Bernabeu . With this screamer, Real Madrid move within six points of La Liga leaders Barcelona after coming back from successive defeats against Barcelona and AC Milan.

Bellingham Shoots the Button in New Real Madrid Contract Role

Bellingham , who led Madrid’s attack last season scoring 19 times, scored his first goal of the season in the 42nd minute. Holding onto a cross from Ral Asencio, Bellingham slipped the ball past Osasuna keeper Sergio Herrera to send Real Madrid into the lead. The English midfielder spoke after the game about how his goal tally had fallen this season, citing changing roles within the side.

"I think I’ve been a little too hospitable, trying to make myself fit in some other position on the pitch," Bellingham explained. "I’m still doing whatever I can to support the team. It was good to get a point for another game but I’m glad to help out wherever I can."

Madrid fans backed Bellingham and they stood to applaud him after he was taken off in the 75th minute. The player reflected on his joy: "I’m grateful every day to play here and that ovation is what you get for – making fans happy.

Vinicius Junior’s Hat-Trick Keeps Real Madrid Strong.

Bellingham might have scored his first goal but Vinicius Junior lit up the stands with his unwavering intensity and accuracy, netting a hat-trick. This gives the Brazilian a total of eight goals in 12 La Liga games so far this season. Bellingham lauded Vinicius for his leadership and perseverance after a Ballon d’Or mishap.

‘He has this amazing spirit,’ Bellingham said. We get along fantastically on and off the field. Just watching him perform like that – there’s no stopping it."
