JUDE BELLINGHAM has been praised by fans for his classy gesture as he walked off the pitch against Getafe.
Real Madrid won 2-0 on Thursday with ex-Stoke striker Joselu netting both the goals.
The win saw Los Blancos climb to the top of the LaLiga table.
At the end of the game, Bellingham trudged off the pitch alongside team-mate Andriy Lunin.

Bellingham, 20, showed his opponents a huge mark of respect as he swerved around the badge to avoid stepping on it.
He also waved at supporters and gave a lucky one his shirt.
Fans have praised his courteous action, with one saying: “He’s just a class act isn’t he.”
Another added: “He’s a great footballer and a wonderful, humble and talented man.”
A third commented: “How can you not love Bellingham?”

More reacted: “England captain material.”
Meanwhile, Bellingham’s day at Getafe was not without controversy after an apparent spat with Mason Greenwood.
LaLiga chiefs have called in a lip reader to investigate a complaint by Getafe about an alleged “rapist” slur aimed at the on loan Manchester United star by the Madrid ace.
Cameras captured Bellingham appearing to mutter something at Greenwood after a crunching tackle on him.
The 22-year-old joined Getafe on loan in September, seven months after charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive control were dropped.
