Jude Bellingham showed visible frustration with Vinicius Jr. during Real Madrid's first half against Celta Vigo, upset with the Brazilian's selfish play.
Despite another unconvincing performance from Carlo Ancelotti's side, they managed to secure a win, largely due to their attacking firepower, led by Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jr.
Mbappé opened the scoring after just 20 minutes with a powerful strike into the top corner.
However, Real Madrid's lead was short-lived as Celta capitalized on their numerous opportunities, with Williot Swedberg netting the equaliser.

The electrifying winger had skillfully created space with his dribbling and determined run but chose to shoot from a difficult angle, missing the target instead of crossing or passing.
In a video shared on social media, Bellingham, who had made an excellent run to the far post, was visibly upset, even kicking the turf in frustration.
