Life in the Spanish capital has already been proven as a success for Bellingham after his mega summer move from Borussia Dortmund.
He scored on his Madrid debut against Athletic Bilbao before netting twice and assisting away at Almeria.
The midfielder found the back of the net against Celta Vigo before emerging as the hero in the dying moments at home to Getafe last weekend.
In a video in the changing room after the dramatic win, Bellingham said: “I’ve never heard a stadium sound louder in my life.”
Supporters on social media were quick to notice that his name behind him actually spelt ‘Bellimgham’, not Bellingham.
Taking to X, one fan with laughing emojis said: “Why does his locker say Bellimgham?”
“Can’t even spell his name right on that locker,” added another.
A third said: “That’s actually really poor from Madrid like how do they make that error?”

“Sorry Jude mate, you’re sitting at Bellimgham’s locker, your locker is over there,” a fourth jokingly added.
Bellingham’s goal on Saturday saw him emulate a record that was set by Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009.
He is the first Real Madrid player to score in each of his opening four games for the club since the five-time Ballon d’Or winner managed it in 2009. Only Cesc Fabregas and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have done the same in LaLiga.
