After the goal, Bellingham and his teammates celebrated with excitement. 

This goal not only sealed the victory for Real Madrid but also ended Bellingham's goal drought since February this year.

It's worth noting that Bellingham was also the hero in the first leg clash between the two sides in the 11th round. 

In that match, he scored the winning goal, adding to his contribution against Barcelona this season, including an assist in the Spanish Super Cup.

Following his two match-winning goals against Barcelona, Bellingham achieved several milestones:

Firstly, he became the first Real Madrid player since Van Nistelrooy in 2007 to score in both legs against Barcelona.

Secondly, Bellingham's three goals in El Clásico matches equalled Zidane's tally while wearing the number 5 shirt for Real Madrid.

Thirdly, with Bellingham's two late winners, Real Madrid achieved their first-ever season with two stoppage-time winners against Barcelona.

Leading Real Madrid to the top of La Liga and reaching the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, Bellingham has emerged as a frontrunner for this year's Ballon d'Or.

Top scorer of Real Madrid

After this match, Bellingham has made 25 appearances in La Liga this season, scoring 17 goals, making him the top scorer for the team.

He is just one goal behind the top scorer in La Liga, and has a chance to win the league's Golden Boot.

If Real Madrid can eventually win both La Liga and the Champions League, and England wins the European Championship, Bellingham, who has frequently delivered in important matches, truly deserves the Ballon d'Or honor.

Bellingham: The dual threat for Real Madrid and England

It must be said that Real Madrid's acquisition of Bellingham for €103 million was indeed a bargain. 

They initially thought they were signing a superstar midfielder, but instead, they got a top-class striker.

It is Bellingham's outstanding performances that have eased Real Madrid's attacking crisis!

Seeing Bellingham's performances, Borussia Dortmund must be regretting selling him.

Selling Bellingham for €200 million would still be too cheap considering his age and performances.
