Carlo Ancelotti named a youthful-looking side for Real's La Liga curtain-raiser, with nine of the starting XI aged 25 or under. Only David Alaba and David Carvajal were above that age bracket as Luka Modric, Joselu, Toni Kroos and Antonio Rudiger all began on the bench. Real opened the scoring in the 29th minute at San Mames through Rodrygo as he latched on to Dani Carvajal's pass before slotting the ball home beyond Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon. It was the perfect start from Ancelotti's side, who doubled their advantage seven minutes later. Bellingham was the man to score Real's second with an inch-perfect finish from David Alaba's corner. The 19-year-old kept his head over the ball as the cross looped to the far post, before hitting an effort into the ground and over Simon to hand Los Blancos a two-goal lead in the Basque Country. The second-half proved to be rather uneventful as Real controlled the match, with Kroos and Modric coming on in an attempt to see out the win. Fellow substitute Joselu was also introduced to the action and he almost made an immediate impact in the 83rd-minute but his tame shot was saved by Simon. Real managed to hold out to secure a comfortable victory away from home as Bellingham marked his historic Los Blancos debut with a goal and three points. The ex-Birmingham midfielder joined Real in a deal worth £88million plus add-ons back in June, with Bellingham penning a six-year deal in Madrid. Explaining why he decided to leave Borussia Dortmund for Real, he said: "Money is not a thing for me. I don't think about money at all when I make these kind of decisions. I never have, I never will.
