Bellingham wrote: "Nothing's decided yet, we'll keep pushing. 20 piece. #HalaMadrid." The "20 piece" refers to a celebratory bucket of chicken.
Valverde responded: "You can't play with three legs."

The angle of Bellingham's celebratory picture shows that he maybe enjoyed it a little too much, and Valverde made sure to make crude reference to it. The real story, though, is that Real are now five points clear of second-placed Girona at the top of La Liga after Saturday's win.

Real are next in action in the Champions League, against RB Leipzig, in the first leg of their Round of 16 clash on Tuesday. They will then return to La Liga action against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday.
