Player to watch: Jude Bellingham
The signing of the young Englishman proved to be a fantastic deal for Real Madrid, despite the hefty price they had to pay to Borussia Dortmund to bring Bellingham to Bernabeu.
So far, Bellingham has been the team's top scorer and his role has been much more offensive that we are used to. In any case, Bellingham is our player to watch in this match.
