Real Madrid opted to shake things up in the club’s penalty-taker pecking order, during their latest outing.
Carlo Ancelotti’s troops are of course currently locked in action, in a La Liga meeting with Getafe.
And, as things stand, following a defeat at the hands of Liverpool in the Champions League during the week, Los Blancos find themselves en route to a return to winning ways.
This comes owing to a solitary goal, netted just shy of the half-hour mark.
After Antonio Rüdiger was dragged to ground inside the Getafe penalty area, referee Alejandro Hernández Hernández wasted little time in pointing to the spot.
And, from here, a change in the penalty pecking order in Ancelotti’s ranks was confirmed.
After Kylian Mbappé fluffed his lines from 12 yards at a crucial moment at Anfield on Wednesday, Jude Bellingham was on this occasion tasked with stepping up.
And the Englishman made no mistake, calmly waiting for David Soria to make his move, before slotting the ball in the other corner.
