Jude Bellingham continues to shine for Madrid as he gets a beautiful assist

The first half of Real Madrid has been exceptional. Vinicius Jr. has had a wonderful first half and dominated FC Barcelona with a great hat trick. The first goal was made by a great run past the Barca keeper to push in an empty net. Vinicius' second goal was a tap in; his great runs allowed him to open himself up for a pass. Vini scores the third by finishing from the penalty spot after being fouled by Ronald Araujo.

The Madrid fans greatly appreciated the opening goal for the pass Vinicius got before scoring. Jude Bellingham held the ball in the middle of the pitch with a couple of Barca players around him. His awareness is what's so key about the play because he notices the Barca back line being pushed too high. Bellingham sees where Vini wants the ball, and the English midfielder passes the ball into the gap of the Barca defense.

None of the Barca players reacted to the pass at first and were struggling to find the ball for a split second. That split second was enough for Vini to run into a one-on-one situation with the Barca keeper. Vini did the rest fairly easily by using his pace to go around the goalie and shoot the ball into the net.
