Real Madrid midfielder Bellingham: Noise for my winner shocked me

Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham was happy to again score in victory over Getafe.

Fran Garcia had gifted the opener to Getafe's Borja Mayoral before Joselu and then Bellingham struck for Real.

The England midfielder later said: "We had to be very patient. The fans gave us a lot of encouragement. They've been very supportive. In the goal I saw that Lucas Vázquez was going to shoot, that it might fall to me and I could score. It wasn't the most beautiful thing, but there is also a lot of mental work to do to sense where the ball is going to land. I was calm and I scored. After the goal there was an impressive noise in the stadium, I've never experienced anything like it.

"Four out of four. You can't forget that the first three have been away from home. They are very tough games playing in the opposition's ground and with the rival fans, and we got them out of the way. Today we played well. We conceded a goal but the reaction was good. We won and you can't ask for more.

"We played with more purpose, we attacked with more speed, we circulated the ball more and we defined better. We dominated and with this team we are unstoppable. It's crazy to play with my team-mates and I always try to do better and get infected by their positive energy.

"The moment of the goal was the loudest I've ever heard on a football pitch. I couldn't believe it. My legs were shaking when they chanted my name at the end of the game. I was signed for this and I have to keep it up. I felt the support every time I made a play. I felt the support of the fans. I don't know what I've done to deserve it but I'm very grateful. Every time I put on this shirt I give one hundred per cent and I hope to continue like this."
