Jude Bellingham tells his Real Madrid teammate, “Score a normal goal man,” following the team’s 4-2 victory over Sevilla.

Jude Bellingham sent a humorous message to Federico Valverde after the Uruguayan’s stunning long-range goal in Real Madrid’s 4-2 La Liga victory over Sevilla on December 22. Valverde’s strike, a powerful 25-yard effort, was his fifth of the season and came just ten minutes after Kylian Mbappé’s opener. Although Valverde doesn’t score frequently, he makes his goals memorable, with all five of his league goals this season coming from outside the box.

Bellingham, clearly impressed by his teammate’s strike, took to X (formerly Twitter) to joke: “score a normal goal man [head in flames emoji],” earning over 4,000 likes and laughter from fans.

Real Madrid ended 2024 on a high, securing the win and moving into second place in the La Liga standings with 40 points, tied with Atletico Madrid, who are ahead on goal difference. The win capped off a trophy-filled year for the club, which also claimed the Champions League, La Liga title, Spanish Supercup, UEFA Supercup, and FIFA Intercontinental Cup.
