Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has praised Jude Bellingham, despite the midfielder raging at Vinicius Jr during their 2-1 win over Celta Vigo on Saturday night.
The Spanish giants picked up all three points, with Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr on target either side of an effort from Williot Swedberg.
Bellingham was, however, left furious at one point in the match.
The England international raged at Vinicius Jr for not passing to him, with the 21-year-old seen gesturing furiously before kicking the turf and storming away.

The incident happened in the first half, when Real were 1-0 up after Mbappe's strike.
Ancelotti was asked about Bellingham's fury after the game, with the former Borussia Dortmund and Birmingham star yet to scale the same heights as in his first season at the club.
But Ancelotti has refused to criticise his midfielder, with the ex-Chelsea bos saying: "I haven't seen that play you're talking about, but if it has happened, it means that he has balls, character, and it seems good to me.
"Honestly, I didn't realise the play (had happened).
"I'll watch it. But if he has reacted... let's be calm, after the game they were talking, laughing. They have no problems.
"The merit we have is that we always compete well, until the end.
"We could have played better, yes, but the group was committed and knew how to suffer, because Celta also competed well, with intensity.
"We took three important points thanks to a fantastic pass from [Luka] Modric [to Vincius].
"It's something normal for him, because of his enormous quality.
"Luka always contributes, whether he is a starter or coming off the bench. He has such great quality, that it always adds up."
The result was a big one for Real.
Luka Modric, who set up Vinicius Jr's winner, became the oldest player in the club's history at the age of 39 years and 40 days.
