Bellingham Strikes as Real Madrid Edge Past Juventus in Champions League

On October 18, 2025, Real Madrid secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Juventus in the Champions League. The 15-time winners of the competition are now one of just five teams with a 100% record after three rounds of fixtures in this year's edition.

The first half was a cagey affair, with Juventus content to defend and Real Madrid struggling to find a way through. However, the second half saw a much faster tempo, and Jude Bellingham broke the deadlock with his first goal of the season, tucking home a rebound after Vinicius Junior's shot had hit the post.

Real Madrid had several chances to extend their lead, but the sight of Raul Asensio limping off late on was a blow as they head into Sunday's crucial clasico against Barcelona. Juventus had late opportunities to equalize, but were denied by the impressive Thibaut Courtois, who made a number of crucial saves on his 300th appearance for the club.
