AHEAD OF TIME? The English midfielder’s stellar play in Spain continued on Saturday as Real Madrid defeated Girona 3-0 in La Liga, with him scoring and dishing out an assist once more. After scoring another goal, Bellingham made the now-iconic gesture of throwing his arms wide open in jubilation. The 20-year-old said after the game that he could not remember why he began annotating his goals in this way.

WHAT THEY SAY: Bellingham told RMTV in an interview, “The fact is, I’m not precisely sure where it originates from. I have been doing that since I started in Birmingham, but I have no explanation for it. The fact that they copy me makes me proud.”

The larger picture shows how Bellingham’s valiant efforts enabled his side to take the top spot in the league table. After making seven appearances for Los Blancos, he now has six La Liga goals and two assists.
