- Bellingham scores twice
- Modric makes record 500th appearance
WHAT HAPPENED? The Croatian midfielder is now in his 12th season with Real Madrid, having joined the team in 2012. Modric is one of the most accomplished midfielders of this generation and has received several honours with Los Blancos. As he came onto the pitch in the 63rd minute, the 2018 Ballon d'Or winner marked his 500th appearance for Los Blancos. Bellingham, who was voted as the Player of the Match scored the winner for Carlo Ancelotti's side and took Los Blancos four points clear of Xavi Hernandez's men.

WHAT NEXT? Modric will next be in action when Real Madrid take on Rayo Vallecano on Sunday, November 5.
