Jude Bellingham has scored six goals in his first six appearances for Real Madrid.

Somehow, the club’s record signing has found a way to score very late goals to give Madrid the win.

With the game seemingly heading for a draw against Union Berlin, Jude Bellingham pounced on a loose ball to nick up a goal in the 94th minute, and give his side the victory. This was a similar script to what he did against Getafe.

The 20-year-old has now admitted that he prefers to score late goals than early goals.

Expressing his joy after scoring the winning goal against Union Berlin, Bellingham told TNT Sports: “I’d much rather keep scoring in the 90 plus than the 15th! It’s always good to score late because it normally confirms the game.

“For us, I think we dominated the game, a lot of the ball was for us. I don’t really remember [Union Berlin] having too many clear-cut chances, but they defended really well, they were so organised.

“It was just the mentality that we’ve shown all season, that mentality of even when we go down or even if there are setbacks, we keep going until the end. I always believe that there are chances for us in the end, and it’s just about being in the right positions to take them.”
