Real Madrid's rather underwhelming performance against their city rivals, Rayo Vallecano, has evoked a mixed range of responses among La Liga fans.

While supporters of Girona and Barcelona revelled in Carlo Ancelotti's team's draw, there was a prevailing sense of disappointment at the Santiago Bernabeu that night.

According to Fotmob, Los Blancos attempted 22 shots at goal but failed to convert any of them.

Overall, Ancelotti's men put in a lacklustre display, with only a few bright moments provided by players like Vinicius Jr., who looked more dynamic when given the freedom to play on the wings, and Jude Bellingham, who has been a source of excitement for many Real Madrid fans lately.

Bellingham, in particular, was at the centre of attention once again. Despite not finding the back of the net, he showcased a moment of brilliance with a sublime piece of skill that brought back memories of the club's iconic midfielder, Zinedine Zidane.

Bellingham's Zidane-esque moment occurred in the 42nd minute when he elegantly danced past Rayo's Unai Lopez and the charging Alfonso Espino before launching a shot that narrowly missed its mark, as reported by @TC.

The dazzling display by the young Englishman has ignited a flurry of reactions, with many drawing parallels between him and the legendary Frenchman Zidane.

While Real Madrid's failure to secure a victory in front of their home fans raised some eyebrows, there are still positives to be taken from the impressive performances of a few players, including the Brazilian duo of Vinicius and Rodrygo de Goes.

These performances come just in time for their crucial UEFA Champions League clash against Sporting Braga.
