da bet7： We've had the era of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, but it now feels like the Englishman is about to dominate the biggest fixture in football

da bet nacional： Jude Bellingham's first Clasico appeared to be passing him by. Just like nearly every Real Madrid player around him, he was struggling to get into Saturday's game at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys. Barcelona were undeniably dominating, excellent value for a 1-0 win given to them by Ilkay Gundogan.

Worse still, it actually looked like they wanted it more. Madrid looked lethargic. They were strangely subdued. The introduction of Luka Modric certainly helped matters. But the unlikeliest of Clasico comebacks was all about Bellingham.

With 22 minutes to go, he picked up possession about 10 yards outside the Barca box and simply thumped the ball past Marc-Andre ter Stegen and into the back of the net. Then, in injury time, the Englishman struck again, showing his predatory instincts to get on the end of a Dani Carvajal cross that Modric had helped on into the six-yard box. Game over. Job done. Bellingham brilliant again.

Below, GOAL runs through all of the winners and losers from a remarkable encounter in Catalunya…

Getty WINNER: Jude Bellingham

We all knew Jude Bellingham was good. But did anyone really think he was going to be this good, this quickly?! The kid is still only 20 years of age and he's just won a Clasico almost single handedly. Make no mistake about it: Madrid were going nowhere here. They'd been second best all game, until Bellingham decided to level the game with a shot so ferocious that it bordered on violence.

Seriously, there was real menace behind the strike, as underlined by the fact that Bellingham barely celebrated. He appeared more annoyed than anything else, almost angry that it had come to this; him having to bail out los Blancos once again.

He wasn't done, though. In injury time, he stole into the area to win the game for Madrid with a far more straightforward finish. In doing so, he became the first Madrid player this century to score twice on his Clasico debut this century. Not even the great Cristiano Ronaldo managed such a feat.

And that's the level of talent we're talking about here; there's simply no getting away from that fact now. Jude Bellingham is the real deal, and the new king of the Clasico.

How he must have thought he did everything right! Barcelona are short at the moment, missing four presumptive starters, and relying on a number of backups and teenagers to pick up results in a gruelling La Liga slate. And for 65 minutes, the Barca boss made it work. His midfield was excellent, while his defensive structure held firm. Vinicius, Toni Kroos and Bellingham hardly had a sniff, and the Blaugrana were dangerous on the break.

But it all went wrong. Madrid simply had a stronger bench and Xavi could only watch while his team were steadily outclassed. Perhaps this would have gone differently if the Barca manager could call on Frenkie de Jong, Pedri and even Jules Kounde at the back.

Instead, a team of bit-part players and La Masia graduates were overrun by a team who simply looked like they had been here before. Xavi didn’t really get anything wrong here. Madrid were, in effect, too good. And perhaps that’s the most demoralising thing of all.

WINNER: Luka Modric

Just when you think Luka Modric is done, just when you think he might not have any more left in the tank, he makes an impact like this that leaves you cursing yourself for ever doubting the great man.

Bellingham will dominate all of the headlines after this Clasico – and rightly so as both the game-changer and the match-winner. But Modric coming on in place of Toni Kroos was an important moment in the proceedings. The Croatian maestro, as he so often does, added poise, precision and penetration to Madrid's play, which is precisely why Barca lost control of a game that they had been bossing.

How much longer can Modric keep doing this? Who knows? He may have been the oldest player on the pitch but he also ultimately proved one of its most influential – and on his 500th appearance for Madrid. All we can say for sure is that we'll probably never see a player like Luka Modric ever again.

Getty LOSER: Ferran Torres

The striker has been a steady backup this year. He is certainly lacking in some areas, but it is hard to complain about his three La Liga goals and constant effort. Still, his biggest fault is that he is simply nowhere near as good as the guy he was charged with replacing.

And with Lewandowski unable to start, still recovering from an ankle injury, Ferran had to be perfect. Instead, he returned to his old erratic self. Ferran rushed things far too often, and didn’t connect with the midfield effectively enough. Indeed, the striker was often bypassed, and a peripheral figure when the Blaugrana looked to break. Ironically, they were, despite not scoring, a far more dangerous attacking team when he was removed from play after an hour.

This is likely the end of a run in the side for the Spaniard, who, for all of his hard work and good vibes, isn’t good enough to force his way into a team that has lofty ambitions.
