Bellingham secured the opener in Madrid&#8217;s 4-1 victory against Villarreal, heading in an excellent cross from Luka Modric for his 13th LaLiga goal this season. Although this win propelled Madrid to the top of the table, Girona has the opportunity to reclaim that position with a Monday victory over Alaves.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Kane achieved a brace, becoming the fastest player ever to reach 20 Bundesliga goals as Bayern Munich triumphed 3-0 over Stuttgart. In the early stages, the England captain tapped in a pass from Leroy Sane to an empty net. He later headed home another goal in the second half, helping Bayern recover from their previous 5-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the win, Bayern Munich remains four points behind Bayer Leverkusen, the league leaders, but with a game in hand. Kane expressed his delight after the match, describing it as Bayern&#8217;s best performance of the season.<\/p>\n<p>According to Kane, &#8220;That was probably our best performance of the season, if I\u2019m honest. We wanted to show dominance in a really big game after last week\u2019s result. We had really good intensity. We didn&#8217;t allow many chances throughout the game and we could have scored a few more goals. It was a really good performance, and everyone who came into the starting line-up played really well. There will always be times when players are sick and injured. We need the entire team.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane maintained their outstanding form by scoring for Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, respectively.
