'From a different planet' - Jude Bellingham blown away by Luka Modric after Real Madrid superstar's stunning goal against Girona

LaLiga

Getafe

Real Madrid

<p>England international Bellingham was banned for that contest, as he serves a two-match suspension on the back of the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jude-bellingham-banned-real-madrid-punishment-controversial-red-card-osasuna-referee-jose-luis-munuera-montero/blt2cb1008047c1de3b" target="_blank">controversial red card he picked up against Osasuna</a> for supposedly telling the match referee to “f*ck off”.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>With the 21-year-old restricted to a spectator role, he took up a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jude-bellingham-new-girlfriend-ashlyn-castro-watch-real-madrid-girona-stands-england-ace-suspension/blt5a9b9bfa8eb41791" target="_blank">seat in the stands at Santiago Bernabeu alongside new girlfriend Ashlyn Castro</a>. He was on his feet in the 41st minute of the contest in the Spanish capital, as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-player-ratings-vs-girona-luka-modric-kylian-mbappe/bltb293ccece6dab149" target="_blank">Croatian veteran Modric opened the scoring in spectacular style</a>.</p><center><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="362" src="https://youtube.com/embed/ptodETCcIxw" title="YouTube video player" width="644"></iframe></center>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>A corner was cleared in the direction of Modric as he loitered with intent 25 yards out. The 39-year-old Ballon d’Or winner cushioned the ball on his chest before <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-luka-modric-still-got-it-real-madrid-stunning-golazo-girona/bltaf4c3d20ea44f54f#cs8839d3e22302e843" target="_blank">sending a stunning volley fizzing into the top corner</a>.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Bellingham, who could only stand and applaud the scorching strike from his Madrid team-mate, posted on social media afterwards when reacting to another performance from Modric that suggests he may not be of this world: “From a different planet.”</p><picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt40f7766a9f3e6666/jude%20modric.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt40f7766a9f3e6666/jude%20modric.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt40f7766a9f3e6666/jude%20modric.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Jude Bellingham Luka Modric different planet" data-source="Instagram" data-copyright="Instagram" data-portal-copyright="Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:blt40f7766a9f3e6666;width:427;height:775"></picture>

WHAT JUDE BELLINGHAM SAID

<p>Modric appears to be <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/luka-modric-equals-cristiano-ronaldo-record-after-appearance-during-croatia-euro-2024-opener-spain/bltfd49986c4917c5c8" target="_blank">cut from the same cloth as fellow Golden Ball winner and Real Madrid legend Cristiano Ronaldo</a>, as he plays on towards his own 40th birthday. Bellingham, meanwhile, will be hoping to figure in a midweek Copa del Rey semi-final clash with Real Sociedad before completing his suspension in a trip to Real Betis.</p>
