Bellingham Heads Madrid Past Espanyol

Real Madrid took the lead against Espanyol at RCDE Stadium on Saturday when Jude Bellingham headed home from a cross by Arda Güler following a corner kick. This goal marks the opening of José Mourinho's second period in charge of the Spanish giants.

The Portuguese coach, who previously managed Real Madrid from 2010-2013, is starting his new stint without key players Endrick and Tchouameni due to physical issues. However, he has incorporated several new signings into his lineup, including Bernardo Silva, Konaté, and Dumfries. Espanyol, coached by Manolo González, comes into this match after securing a 3-0 victory over Levante in their first encounter of the season. macnevers-and-co.beer
