Real Madrid continued their strong start to the Champions League season with a hard-fought 1-0 win against Juventus at the Santiago Bernabéu. This victory marks Madrid's third consecutive win in the group stage, maintaining their position at the top of the table.

Jude Bellingham was the hero of the night, scoring the only goal of the match in the 57th minute. His clinical finish followed a rebound after Vinícius Júnior's shot hit the post, allowing Bellingham to capitalize and secure the lead for Madrid. This goal was particularly significant for Bellingham, as it marked his first of the season.

Despite the victory, Real Madrid did not have an easy time against a disciplined Juventus side. The visitors created a few chances and had moments of promise, particularly in the first half, but were ultimately thwarted by a solid defensive performance from Madrid and the outstanding goalkeeping of Thibaut Courtois, who made crucial saves throughout the match.

The game featured a tense atmosphere, especially after both teams missed early opportunities to score. Juventus saw a potential equalizer denied when Dusan Vlahovic was thwarted in a one-on-one situation with Courtois. As the match progressed, Madrid's experience showed as they controlled the pace and limited Juventus's chances.

With this victory, Real Madrid solidifies their position in the group and builds confidence as they prepare for their next match against rivals Barcelona in the highly anticipated El Clásico. Manager Xabi Alonso will be pleased with the result, but he will also be aware that his team will need to elevate their performance levels to compete against stronger opponents.

As the Champions League continues, this win emphasizes Real Madrid’s championship pedigree and their determination to reclaim the title, setting the stage for an exciting season ahead.
