The youngster also scored the midweek crucial goal in his side’s Champions League game against Union Berlin, stabbing home from close range in the 94th minute.

He shares the stop scorer’s chat (5) with Barcelona’s striker, Robert Lewandowski.

He’s also the league’s most valuable player of 8.20 with an impressive 1.8 short on target per game for a midfielder.

He has an expected goal (xG) of 2.05 in every game as he frequently ghosts behind the defence to score.

Madrid appeared to have secured an early return on investment by coughing up €103 million for the 20-year-old England star, when he signed from Borussia Dortmund.

Diego Simeone’s Atleti have
won only one of the past six meetings in this El Derbi with the Los Blancos aiming to top the table (18) again, continuing their perfect league start this season.

Barcelona have 16 points from six games and top the league having played a game more than Madrid.

Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid have seven points from four matches and sit on seven on the table.

Of the 63 matches between them,
Atletico Madrid have won 12 while Real Madrid have won 31.

20 matches have ended in a draw.

But it’s Bellingham that is expected to notch up another goal in game week six in La Liga.
