Jude Bellingham continued his impressive form at Real Madrid by delivering a perfectly executed assist for Joselu to convert on September 30 against Girona.

The English star has been in outstanding form since the beginning of the season, having scored seven goals in all competitions prior to the La Liga match.

While he hadn't found the net in the last two matches, Bellingham continued to play a crucial role in creating goals, providing an assist that could contend for the assist of the season.

The 20-year-old displayed his skills with a sensational trivela, which Joselu expertly finished to give Los Blancos the lead against the surprise team of the season - Girona - SportBIBLE reports.

Bellingham's assist was reminiscent of Luka Modric's trivela pass for Rodrygo to score against Chelsea in the 2021-22 UEFA Champions League, as reported by Givemesport.

Fueled by the brilliance of Bellingham, Real Madrid displayed both resilience and elegance as they defeated high-flying Girona 3-0 on Saturday, reclaiming the top spot in La Liga.

The White and Reds entered the weekend as the unexpected Spanish league leaders, but their reign was short-lived as Barcelona overtook them by defeating Sevilla on Friday.

Real Madrid then asserted their dominance with a commanding victory on Catalan soil. First-half goals from Joselu and Aurelien Tchouameni proved to be enough to burst Girona's bubble.

Following that, the 35-time La Liga champions maintained a comfortable lead over the spirited underdogs.

The stylish Bellingham added to the tally with a goal 20 minutes before the final whistle, securing Madrid's victory and extending his impressive scoring streak.
