Real Madrid may have expected an easier ride against Champions League debutant Union Berlin at the Santiago Bernabeu, but it wasn’t to be.
The Bundesliga side came prepared and kept a good defensive shape that frustrated Real Madrid.
Striker Joselu, had it tough as he missed a couple of chances, including one that hit the post. Rodrygo also sniffed around the post but found nothing.
At the end, it took Jude Bellingham to be the hero again, as he pounced on a ball in the opposition box just at the death.
Bellingham’s 94th minute strike was enough to seal the three points for Real Madrid. It was his sixth goal of the season, and also Madrid’s sixth win in six matches.
