With two goals from Joselu, Carlo Ancelotti’s team passed Girona to become the leaders of La Liga.For the first time in 22 years, two English players played against each other in La Liga. Both Greenwood and Bellingham started for their teams.


Greenwood’s shot hit the post, but it was the closest of the two to a goal.

Real Madrid beat Las Palmas 7-0 in February 2002, and Steve McManaman came off the bench for Real. That was the last time these two teams played.

Vinny Samways, on the other hand, was on the Las Palmas team.Between 1999 and 2003, McManaman won eight titles with Real. He won the Champions League and La Liga twice.

For Samways, he used to play middle for Tottenham and also played for Las Palmas, Sevilla, and Algeciras in Spain.

In 1988, Gary Lineker and Sammy Lee also played in Spain. Osasuna beat Barcelona 1-0 at the Camp Nou.Lineker led the line for Barcelona, and Lee, who played with Sam Allardyce, starting for the away team 36 years ago.

Greenwood is on loan from Manchester United to Getafe right now. The 22-year-old has scored six goals and set up four others.

In the summer, Bellingham also went to Spain. He was the most expensive British player ever when he arrived at the Bernabeu.

During that time, he scored 18 goals, with 14 of them coming in the league. This makes him tied for the most goals scored in the division.
