"Thibaut Courtois was making his 300th appearance for Los Blancos in all competitions, with Iker Casillas (725), Paco Buyo (456) and Miguel Ángel (346) the only Real keepers to have played more games. However, neither the towering Belgian nor his counterpart in the Juventus goal, Michele Di Gregorio, were overly tested in a first 45 that saw the Serie A side begin brightly but fade, and the hosts fail to capitalise on their growing dominance."
"The chance seemed to snap Madrid back into life, with Xabi Alonso's men upping the tempo in search of a breakthrough. And sure enough, they found such an opening on 58 minutes courtesy of Bellingham. The England man reacted quickest after Vincius Junior's left-foot shot came back off the post and supplied the simplest of finishes to smash the ball home from close range."
Real Madrid beat Juventus 1-0 at the Bernabeu in the Champions League. Jude Bellingham scored shortly before the hour mark to register his first goal of the season and preserve Los Blancos' perfect record in the competition. Thibaut Courtois marked his 300th appearance for Real Madrid while Michele Di Gregorio produced several important saves for Juventus. Dusan Vlahovic forced a key stop from Courtois after the restart, and Vinicius Junior struck the post before Bellingham finished from close range. Juventus created good chances but remained winless in Europe this term.
