Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham has found his scoring touch again, netting five goals in five consecutive LaLiga matches after enduring a challenging start to the season.
The England international had initially struggled to find the back of the net, experiencing a 12-game goalless spell in all competitions.
The dramatic turnaround in form has caught attention, with manager Carlo Ancelotti explaining the reasons behind Bellingham’s resurgence in front of goal.
The 21-year-old’s return to scoring ways has provided a significant boost for Los Blancos as they continue their campaign in both domestic and European competitions.

Bellingham’s arrival at Real Madrid in 2023 coincided with the departure of Ballon d’Or holder Karim Benzema.
The former Borussia Dortmund player made an immediate impact in his debut season, displaying veteran-like performances.
His impressive tally of 23 goals in 42 matches across all competitions, including 19 in the league, helped Madrid secure both the LaLiga and Champions League titles.
This season has seen tactical adjustments following the arrival of Kylian Mbappe, with Bellingham being deployed in a deeper role.
These changes initially resulted in a goalless spell, though the midfielder has since rediscovered his scoring form.

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has attributed Bellingham’s goalscoring revival to changes in the team’s overall approach rather than individual adjustments.
“Not much has changed for him personally,” Ancelotti told reporters. “What has changed is the dynamic of the team; now we have more mobility up top and he takes advantage of this.”
The Italian manager emphasised that Bellingham’s attitude has remained consistent throughout.

“He has scored, of course, and that is important, but his attitude has remained the same,” Ancelotti added.
The explanation highlights how tactical modifications in the team’s attacking movement have benefited the English midfielder’s scoring opportunities.
Despite his recent scoring form, Bellingham faced a minor setback in Real Madrid’s match against Girona, where he was forced to leave the pitch.

The substitution initially caused concern among Madrid’s staff and supporters about a potential injury to their key player.
However, Ancelotti later clarified that Bellingham’s withdrawal was merely due to fatigue.
The England international is expected to be available for Real Madrid’s upcoming fixture against Atalanta on Tuesday, December 10.
Bellingham will be looking to extend his impressive scoring run as Los Blancos aim to strengthen their European campaign.
