"It's a great feeling, a long time now since I've scored, a lot of time out and dreaming of that moment, back in the Champions League and against a big team,"
"To score a winner, here at home, it's unbelievable. I felt comfortable, really good. To play well was important, and to score the winning goal helps the team a lot."
"[It was] still 15 goals, 14 assists, but I know the general feeling was that it was worse. But I was a part of that, how we didn't play as well last year. There were still good moments, but not the level I want to play at, not the level like the first year. Now I've had my shoulder surgery, a new manager [Xabi Alonso], he's got that shape, how we want to play. You have to learn from it."
Jude Bellingham scored the winning goal as Real Madrid beat Juventus 1-0 at the Santiago Bernabéu in the Champions League. The goal came from a close-range finish after Vinícius Júnior's shot rebounded off the post. The strike was Bellingham's first of the season following shoulder surgery in July. The result gives Madrid three wins from three in the Champions League and momentum ahead of the upcoming Clásico with Barcelona. Thibaut Courtois praised Vinícius' movement and Bellingham's return to his best level. Bellingham reflected on last season's standards and the impact of surgery and a new manager.
