Real Madrid defeated Braga 2-1 in the Champions League thanks in part to a goal from Jude Bellingham, who has had an outstanding start to the season.

The midfielder from England gave Madrid its second goal of the game in the 61st minute with a beautiful curling finish.

After 17 minutes, Vinicius Jr. set up Rodrygo to score from inside the six-yard box, giving Madrid their first goal.

Then on 63 minutes, Braga pulled a goal back through Alvaro Djalo to set up a tense finish.

But Real held on as goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga had to deny Ricardo Horta an equaliser late on.

Victory means Los Blancos lead Group C with a perfect nine points, three points clear of second-placed Napoli, who beat winless Union Berlin 1-0 on Tuesday.
