Real Madrid star Toni Kroos’ reaction to Jude Bellingham’s stunning strike against Barcelona has gone viral.
On Saturday afternoon, Madrid arrived at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys looking to pull four points clear of fierce rivals Barcelona with a victory.
However, they found themselves 1-0 down inside seven minutes after former Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gunodgan scored for Barcelona.
In the second half, it turned into the Bellingham show as he first scored a stunning long-range equaliser in the 68th minute which was unstoppable.
Deep into injury time, Bellingham was in the right place at the right time to win the match 2-1.

In what was his El Clasico debut, Bellingham has further cemented himself as one of the best players in world football on current form.
After Bellingham’s first goal, the reaction of the Madrid bench was captured.
Whilst most of the Madrid substitutes celebrated wildly, German midfield maestro Kroos chose to casually sit and applaud in utter calmness. You can watch his reaction below.
