Jude Bellingham played a match for Real Madrid again after recovering from his injury. The midfielder entered the pitch in the second half and played 16 minutes in the victory against Atlético at the Bernabéu. After the match, he spoke to Realmadrid TV: "Like the other games, the team is playing incredibly at the moment; defending and attacking very well. As always, but especially in the last two or three games, and that’s why we’re winning a lot."

Atmosphere in the derby
"The atmosphere was incredible. The fans on nights like this are always amazing. This atmosphere helps us a lot and that’s why the team’s effort is very high. Especially in derbies, or against City, all the players feel the fans a lot when they are here at the Bernabéu."

Recovery process
"Very long. Seven weeks. I was sad for a long time, but now I am happy because I am with my teammates training again."

The level of Vini and Valverde
"Incredible. In tough moments, these two always find a way to raise their level and help the team. In times when we’ve had many injuries, they have always supported the team. Fede is a great example of attitude and Vini is an example of how to recover from a difficult moment. What they are doing now is incredible."
