Jude Bellingham appears to be enjoying his football again under Jose Mourinho, and the England international produced another reminder of his devastating attacking ability against Malaga.
The 23-year-old opened the scoring as Real Madrid raced into a 3-0 half-time lead. Collecting possession in midfield, Bellingham powered forward, burst past three Malaga defenders and calmly slipped his finish underneath the goalkeeper.
It was Bellingham's 48th goal for Real Madrid and continued an impressive start to life under Mourinho. After injuries restricted him to only eight goals last season, the former Birmingham City midfielder is once again becoming a major attacking threat.
Mourinho gives Bellingham his freedom back
Bellingham scored 38 times across his first two seasons at Real Madrid, and his early performances this campaign suggest Mourinho has found a way to restore that attacking influence. He scored against Espanyol in the season opener before providing two assists in the 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad.
The England star has already explained why he feels so comfortable in Mourinho's system, revealing that he has been given significantly more freedom to choose where and when he attacks.
"I feel more free again, more free to decide when to drop back, when to stay up or when to get into the box," Bellingham told Real Madrid's official website.
"I think this is the best position for me, the one that allows me to show all my qualities. I'm really grateful to the coach for trusting me to play this way."
Real Madrid's excellent start under Mourinho is providing plenty of evidence to support Bellingham's assessment. The midfielder is scoring, creating and driving forward again – and Mourinho appears to have given him exactly the freedom he wanted.
