AN ENGLISH star lit up the Bernebeu in Real Madrid’s Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund – but it wasn’t Jude Bellingham.
In fact, former Dortmund midfielder Bellingham missed two sitters as the Spanish champion found themselves 2-0 down at home.

Donyell Malen opened the scoring on 30 minutes before Jamie Bynoe-Gittens doubled Dortmund’s lead just moments later.
And Bynoe-Gittens made history as the youngest English player to score against Madrid.
The winger came through Chelsea’s academy before moving to Reading where he made his professional debut.
He moved to Manchester City in 2018 but after two years left the join Dortmund – where he has since scored nine goals in 68 games.
This season is shaping up as a breakthrough campaign for Bynoe-Gittens with his goal in the Spanish capital only adding to that.
Bellingham on the other hand had a half to forget.
He could have pulled one back on when he got onto a lofted cross into the box.
But his weak headed effort easily landed in the arms of Dortmund keeper Gregor Kobel.
