🙌🏼 Real Madrid beat Oviedo at home and Jude Bellingham says sorry to the fans. https://t.co/fkiiaxBHsn

What happened: Real Madrid beat Oviedo at home, with Jude Bellingham among the scorers. After finding the net, Bellingham declined to celebrate and instead gestured an apology toward Real Madrid supporters inside the Santiago Bernabéu.

Why it matters: The moment lands in the wake of Barcelona clinching La Liga in El Clásico, with the Bernabéu crowd visibly frustrated and reportedly turning on parts of the squad. Bellingham's apology underscores the pressure cooker at Madrid even in a winning result, where standards leave little room for catharsis.

What to watch: Watch for the club's response to fan unrest in remaining fixtures and whether manager and board signals stabilize the dressing room. Bellingham's body language and post-match comments will be closely tracked.
