Jude Bellingham Stars as Real Madrid Beat Brest 3-0 in Champions League

Read

Real Madrid secured a 3-0 win over Brest in the Champions League, with Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo scoring, as Kylian Mbappe's eight-game scoring run came to an end, and Carlo Ancelotti's side qualified for the play-offs.



Jude Bellingham expressed confidence that Real Madrid are ready to face any opponent in the Champions League play-offs, following their impressive 3-0 win over Brest on Wednesday. “It was important to get the win and finish the group stage strong. I think we probably let ourselves down in a few of the games and that is the reason why we have ended up in the play-offs,” Bellingham told (link unavailable) He acknowledged that the team's poor start to the campaign led to their 11th-place finish in the standings.


Bellingham emphasized that Real Madrid are improving and “starting to click” as a team. “No problem, we'll try and face whatever obstacle comes with a better face and you can see that we are definitely starting to click as a team in the last few weeks,” he said. The team's recent form has been impressive, with five consecutive wins in all competitions, including the 3-0 victory over Brest.


Real Madrid's win over Brest was marked by a strong performance from Rodrygo, who scored twice, including the opening goal just before the half-hour mark. Bellingham added Real's second goal, as the Spanish giants proved too strong for the French side. With their place in the play-offs secured, Real Madrid will face either Manchester City or Celtic in February, with the winners advancing to the last 16 in March.


Carlo Ancelotti's side has shown significant improvement since their 5-2 loss to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final on January 12. The team has won five consecutive matches in all competitions, demonstrating their growing momentum and confidence. As they prepare for the play-offs, Real Madrid will look to build on this positive form and overcome the challenges ahead.


Kylian Mbappe's impressive scoring run came to an end as Real Madrid secured a 3-0 win over Brest in the Champions League. Mbappe had previously scored eight times in the last five games, but his goal drought didn't hinder Real Madrid's performance. The visitors were also missing Vinicius Junior due to suspension, but they managed to overcome these challenges.


Real Madrid's win was marked by a strong team performance, with Rodrygo scoring twice and Jude Bellingham adding the third goal. Bellingham sparked a breakaway and finished off Lucas Vazquez's low center to make it 2-0 on 56 minutes. Rodrygo then sealed the win with his second goal on 78 minutes. “I think we overlook who scores the goals and that kind of thing because we know that each game it will be someone else, whether it's Rodrygo's two and me one tonight, whether it's Kylian with three the other day,” Bellingham said.


Bellingham emphasized the importance of teamwork and individual brilliance in Real Madrid's success. “Someone will always step up with a bit of individual brilliance and the rest of us will focus on the organisation of the team,” he added. “That is maybe what we lacked in a few of the early group games, but it seems to be getting better over the last few weeks.” Real Madrid's qualification from the league phase was marked by defeats against Lille, AC Milan, and Liverpool, but Bellingham praised the new format.


Bellingham gave the new Champions League format a thumbs up, citing the benefits of playing more teams of higher quality. “It has been nice playing more teams of a higher quality and a real mixed group of teams from all over Europe. It's nice to have a bit more jeopardy,” he said. Brest, on the other hand, finished 18th in the table and will play either Paris Saint-Germain or Benfica in the play-off round.


Brest goalkeeper Marco Bizot expressed his team's desire to continue making history in their first-ever European campaign. “We want to keep going, make even more history than we have already, and if we can continue to get results, why not,” Bizot said. Despite losing their last two games, Brest's European campaign has been memorable, and they will look to build on this experience in the play-off round.
