Jude Bellingham continued his sensational form, scoring in his sixth consecutive La Liga match as Real Madrid were held to a dramatic 3-3 draw against Rayo Vallecano.
The England midfielder equalized with a deft header in the first half after Los Blancos had fallen 2-0 behind, thanks to goals from Unai Lopez and Abdul Mumin.
Federico Valverde’s stunning long-range strike and Bellingham’s header brought Carlo Ancelotti’s side level before halftime, showcasing the 21-year-old’s knack for crucial contributions. Bellingham’s streak matches a feat last achieved by Karim Benzema for Real Madrid in 2016.
Rodrygo fired Madrid into the lead in the second half with a powerful strike, but Vallecano refused to relent, leveling the match through Isi Palazon’s deflected goal. Vinicius Junior nearly snatched victory late on, only to be denied by a superb save from Rayo goalkeeper Augusto Batalla. Despite their attacking efforts, Madrid remain second in the table, a point behind Barcelona, who have the chance to extend their lead with a win on Sunday. The result highlighted Madrid’s resilience but also their defensive vulnerabilities in an electrifying contest.
