The objective for Bellingham when it comes to his career is clear. Real Madrid are back on top of La Liga after a strong run of form over the past month and will face Real Valladolid, rock bottom of the table, on Saturday night. That should be a straightforward win, with the bigger task for Bellingham and Co. on the immediate horizon making sure they beat Brest in France on Wednesday. Victory in that one is the only chance Los Blancos have to finish in the Champions League top eight and bypass the inconvenience of being forced into an additional knockout play-off round.
