JUDE BELLINGHAM stole the show in his first Clasico – but his second-half screamer failed to impress the watching on Mick Jagger.
Real Madrid and Barcelona entered their first epic showdown of the season both playing catch-up with surprise package of the season Girona, who topped the league with nine wins in their first 11 matches.

Barca were on course to close the gap on their Catalan rivals with a 1-0 win at their temporary home, Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, thanks to Ilkay Gundogan‘s sixth-minute strike.
That was until Bellingham stepped up with a scorcher of a strike from outside the box in the 68th minute.
The few Real Madrid fans in attendance burst out in jubilant celebration after Bellingham’s rocket flew past Marc-Andre ter Stergen and into the top corner.
And TV cameras immediately flicked to Brit rock and roll god Jagger in the stands to see his reaction to Bellingham’s stunner.
But the Rolling Stones star – who was there supporting Barca – was completely unmoved.
Jagger – in attendance with long-time pal and bandmate Ronnie Wood – didn’t show a single ounce of emotion after the ball hit the back of the net.
His non-reaction spread like wildfire on social media, with several footie fans taking to X to react to the viral clip.
One remarked: “The juxtaposition of Jude Bellingham‘s exhilaration with Mick Jagger looking sad in the crowd immediately afterwards has given me whiplash.”

Another chimed in: “I dunno what’s more entertaining, Jude Bellingham or the fact that they cut to a miserable Mick Jagger after his goal.”
Jagger was likely left stunned again when Bellingham struck in the 92nd minute to seal a 2-1 win and fire Los Blancos to the top of the table.
Jagger and Wood’s attendance at the match was by no means an accident.
Barca hosted the duo as part of their sponsorship with Spotify.
And ahead of the match, they teamed up with the Stones to create a limited edition kit.
The shirt wasn’t drastically different from their traditional strip, with the Stones’ iconic lips logo replacing the Spotify branding.
Bellingham’s brace saw him surpass Zinedine Zidane‘s best goalscoring season for Los Blancos.
The England midfielder now has 14 goals and three assists to his name in all competitions this season.
Bellingham and his Real team-mates will be back in action a week on Sunday, welcoming Rayo Vallecano to the Bernabeu.
