Jude Bellingham saw El Clasico for the first time as a Real Madrid player on Saturday night when Barcelona prevailed.
In the exhibition game at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, Barca prevailed 3-0, with goals from Ousmane Dembele, Fermin Lopez, and Ferran Torres.
Bellingham was positioned in the point of a midfield diamond behind Brazilian forwards Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo as both teams had potent starting lineups.
The midfielder, who is now 20 years old, earned his Birmingham City debut at age 16 before moving on to Borussia Dortmund at age 17 and making his senior England debut later that year.
He has participated in a World Cup quarterfinal, played in front of a boisterous Westfalenstadion, and joined probably the most important club in the world.
He moved to Real Madrid earlier this month for a reported £115 million, becoming him the most valuable British player ever.
Even if the match between the two Spanish rivals on Saturday in the United States was billed as a friendly, everyone knows that such a thing could never be spoken of such a match.
Frenkie de Jong launched a strong challenge, which was followed by a lot of shoving, pushing, and swearing.
Bellingham was caught in the center of the chaos, but as Twitter users noted, he seemed genuinely perplexed by everything.
