The visitors initially struggled to find their rhythm, with Antonio Rüdiger's wayward 30-yard effort their only shot in the opening quarter. However, as the half progressed, Los Blancos began to assert their dominance.
Bellingham's opener arrived minutes before the interval, as he capitalised on Arnau Martínez's errant clearance, reacting quickly to smash the ball past Paulo Gazzaniga. This sparked a surge in confidence, with Brahim Díaz's thunderous effort forcing an impressive stop from Gazzaniga.
The host half-hearted, with Míchel's side ultimately succumbing to their fourth consecutive winless outing.
While injuries to Bellingham and Ferland Mendy tempered Real's celebrations, the victory sets them up nicely for a potential title push, with a game in hand and only two points separating them from Barcelona.
