Let\u2019s hope he keeps scoring goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bellingham\u2019s strike against Union Berlin was the second time he\u2019s won a game for Madrid in added time at the Bernabeu, after his 95th minute winner against Getafe on September 2.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were patient,\u201d Bellingham told Movistar. \u201cWe knew we\u2019d get chances at the end of the game. We had to move the ball, find spaces. We kept going, we showed a great mentality, great togetherness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bellingham scored 14 goals for Borussia Dortmund in all of last season, and already has six this campaign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAround the pitch I want to be an artist, I want to try to create stuff for my teammates, but when the ball goes into the box I want to be a killer,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s what\u2019s going to win us games. Hopefully it continues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Coach Carlo Ancelotti has picked Bellingham in a more advanced, No. 10 role to maximise his goalscoring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBellingham has quality, that\u2019s very important, and he has luck,\u201d Ancelotti said in his post-match news conference. \u201cThis goal was similar to the one against Getafe. He always arrives at the right time. He\u2019s smarter than the rest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jude Bellingham \u00a0 Nacho said Jude Bellingham \u201cwas born to play for Real Madrid\u201d after the midfielder\u2019s sixth goal in six games gave the LaLiga giants a 1-0 Champions League win over Union Berlin in their opening game in Group C.
