Stephen Oladehinde 20:40 - 26.11.2023

Real Madrid secured a comfortable win over Cadiz as they returned to the top of the Laliga table.

Jude Bellingham returned to the team after missing their previous game due to a shoulder injury.

The Los Blancos had it easy as they came out with a comfortable 3-0 victory against Cadiz as they remain 16th on the league table.

Two goals from Rodrygo and one from Jude Bellingham gave the visitors the deserved win on the night.

As it happened 

Jude Bellingham starts for Real Madrid for the first time since 5 November having recovered from the shoulder injury that saw him miss out on England's matches against Malta and North Macedonia.

The game started with Real Madrid getting most of the possession and creating chances before getting the first goal.

Rodrygo gets the ball inside the penalty area on the left side, but with a blocked route to goal dribbles to the edge of the box and curls a truly stunning strike into the top corner.

The referee blew the whistle for halftime, with Real Madrid going into the break with a favourable lead.

The second half started with Real Madrid in control. They spring a five-on-three counter-attack with Luka Modric leading the charge. 

Clever from Jude Bellingham as his run drags a defender out of position and that enables Rodrygo to run at the home defence, get into the penalty area and curl a lovely strike into the net.

Madrid made it three shortly after the second goal. A great goal from Jude Bellingham as the ball is played on the left side of the box and hits it first time low, left-footed and across Conan Ledesma and into the net.

The game ended in a 3-0 win to Real Madrid against Cadiz as they returned to the top of the LaLiga table.
