Bellingham Sounds Urgent Wake-Up Call to Real Madrid Teammates Following Shocking Rayo Vallecano Stumble

Jude Bellingham called on Real Madrid to "remain united" following the team's scoreless stalemate with Rayo Vallecano on Sunday afternoon.

The Whites saw their six-match winning run come to an end as they dropped points in consecutive fixtures before the November international pause. The Spanish powerhouse endured a 1-0 loss to Liverpool in European competition before managing just one point from their visit to Vallecas.

These displays sparked widespread criticism of Carlo Ancelotti's squad, who have now failed to score for 188 consecutive minutes. The Italian manager was forced to dismiss crisis speculation during his post-match media session.

Bellingham subsequently used social media to address both his colleagues and Madrid supporters worldwide after the frustrating stalemate.

"Always challenging at Vallecas but we claim the point and progress," the midfielder posted on Instagram.

"We must remain united and get ready for another demanding period of fixtures following the break."

As customary, Bellingham concluded his message with "Hala Madrid."

The England star was among Real Madrid's standout performers against Rayo Vallecano, alongside Arda Güler. Bellingham generated his team's most threatening opportunity while completing all but four of his passes during his full 90-minute appearance.

However, his individual display wasn't sufficient to secure victory for Los Blancos. The Spanish champions now hold just a three-point advantage over Barcelona, who claimed a 4-2 triumph against Celta Vigo on Sunday night, at the summit of La Liga.

Real Madrid's Upcoming Six Fixtures Present Major Challenges

Ancelotti's team will enjoy a temporary break from league action over the coming fortnight. However, once the November international period concludes, Real Madrid face a grueling sequence of matches, as Bellingham highlighted.

Los Blancos will contest their following four encounters across all tournaments away from the Santiago Bernabéu. While they remain favorites against Elche, Olympiacos and Girona, Real Madrid have shown vulnerability on the road and demonstrated inconsistency in challenging atmospheres this campaign.

The most significant examinations will arrive against Athletic Bilbao and Celta Vigo. Both clubs possess the quality to secure positive results against Ancelotti's side given their present struggles.

Perhaps most intimidating is the Champions League clash with Manchester City. The Citizens and Los Blancos have exchanged victories in recent seasons on Europe's premier platform, and Pep Guardiola's team will seek retribution following their premature elimination by Real Madrid last term.
