In a match where they never had the lead, Real Madrid secured a crucial victory thanks to Jude Bellingham, who stepped up at the last moment to seal a 2-3 win in an epic Champions League encounter.

Mbappé, Brahim Díaz, and Erling Haaland's brace had already made an impact on the game, but for Ancelotti's relief, it was the Englishman who ended up securing a lead that looks promising for the return leg at the Santiago Bernabéu.
