Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham Benched in Champions League as Alonso Rotates

Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham missed his starting spot in the Champions League game against Kairat Almaty. This is his first absence since returning from shoulder surgery in July. Manager Xabi Alonso made the tactical decision, with Eduardo Camavinga stepping in. Despite this, Real Madrid continues to lead Group D.

Bellingham's last start was in the Madrid derby against Atletico Madrid on Saturday. Since then, Alonso has been managing his workload, considering the challenging matches ahead. Other midfield options like Camavinga or Brahim Díaz could have filled in, but Camavinga got the nod against Kairat. Bellingham, who has scored 38 goals and provided 28 assists in 102 matches for Real Madrid, will likely return soon, given his crucial role in the team's success.
