Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham was delighted to score on his LaLiga debut.

Bellingham struck in yesterday's 2-0 win at Athletic Bilbao.

He said, “This match was very special for me and the most important thing is the victory. I was fortunate to score. It's three points to start the season with.

“We dominated and made a lot of chances. In the second half we found it a bit difficult and we had to battle. We defended and played really well on the counter-attack and we could've scored more goals.

“If you shoot you have a chance to score. I didn't connect well with the ball, but I was fortunate that it went in and it came off.

“I really enjoy playing with my teammates because of what they do with and without the ball. It's a pleasure to be with them and it makes me smile to play with them. I'm very pleased with the win and the goal."
