Bellingham furious at Vinicius Jr for opting to shoot during Real Madrid win 

Jude Bellingham kicked off at team-mate Vinicius Jr for choosing to shoot rather than pass to him during Real Madrid's 2-1 win at Celta Vigo on Saturday. 

He gestured furiously, kicked the turf, and stormed away muttering to himself after the squandered chance, with Los Blancos 1-0 up in the first half after a Kylian Mbappe goal.

Carlo Ancelotti later praised the England star for having the ‘balls’ and ‘character’ to fume at his team-mate.

Vinicius Jr had the chance to flash a cross in to Bellingham but instead shot and missed from a tight angle and fell over – but he had beaten three men to work the chance.

Madrid could have been punished for it after Williot Swedberg equalised for the hosts but Vini atoned for his earlier profligacy with a neat winner after 66 minutes.

The victory moved the LaLiga champions level on 24 points with Barcelona after 10 games, but Barca, resurgent under Hansi Flick, have a game in hand and play Sevilla tonight.

Amid fears that Bellingham’s spat with Vini could turn into something more serious, Ancelotti was quick to assuage any worry.
