WATCH: Jude Bellingham the leader! Real Madrid sensation pushes Joselu to celebrate with Bernabeu faithful after forward ends long-standing goal drought against Napoli

The England midfielder is not only winning hearts with his goals and assists but also with his classy gestures towards his teammates. It was another magical Champions League night in Madrid in which Los Blancos shifted gears in the final few minutes to emerge triumphant over Napoli by a 4-2 margin. Bellingham ran the show with a goal and an assist to create more history with his new club but it was his leadership trait that won the hearts of the Madridistas.

After Nico Paz hit the bull's eye in the 84th minute, Madrid once again took control of the match. Bellingham continued to be in the thick of action as he churned out a sensational assist with his outside boot for Joselu who buried the chance in added time to make amends for missing three gilt-edged opportunities earlier in the match.

After scoring the goal, Joselu immediately apologised to the ever-demanding Bernabeu crowd for squandering the earlier chances. But Bellingham ensured that the Spanish striker soaked in the applause as he pointed towards him to indicate that the former Stoke man deserved the credit for the goal as he pushed him towards the gallery.

Speaking to reporters after the match, Bellingham said: "We are one big family [this team], if one of us is having a bad time it’s important we all get behind him (Joselu).It's about pushing your teammate, your friend over the line. We know what he can do when the ball's delivered in the right area. Tonight he put a few wide but that's the life of a ST. It was important for me to look for him more than anything. Especially in that area of the pitch. I'm so happy for him."

Bellingham is already being touted as a future captain of Real Madrid for his leadership qualities on and off the pitch. And with his strike on Wednesday, the midfielder became the first player in the history of Real Madrid to score in each of the first four European Cup games. He will return to action on Saturday against Granada in a La Liga fixture.
