Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham has praised Caroline Weir, a standout player for Real Madrid’s women’s team, describing her as the greatest of all time following her exceptional performance against Barcelona Femeni on Sunday.
Real Madrid Women’s team secured a memorable 3-1 victory against their Barcelona rivals, thanks to Weir’s crucial late goals.
Bellingham, who watched the match from the England national team camp during the international break, publicly supported Real Madrid Women by commenting on Weir’s Instagram post, referring to her as the “GOAT.”
Weir, who initially started the game on the bench, made a significant impact upon her introduction, netting two decisive goals—one in the 87th minute and another deep into stoppage time.
This victory marks Real Madrid Women’s first-ever win against Barcelona Femeni since their formation five years ago, ending a losing streak of 18 consecutive matches against the Catalan side.
The win comes shortly after Real Madrid Women’s recent confidence-boosting 2-0 triumph over Arsenal Women in the UEFA Women’s Champions League, further highlighting Weir’s influential role.
Real Madrid Women are now just four points behind league leaders Barcelona, with seven games remaining in the season.
