The England midfielder, 21, made a pointed gesture towards the goalkeeper, signaling that he was keeping watch over him.
Bellingham’s penalty was executed with a stylish hop, skip, and pause, before he confidently rolled the ball into the net.
The match was still tied at 0-0 when Antonio Rudiger was brought down by Allan Nyom in the box.
Normally, Kylian Mbappe would handle the penalty.
However, following his missed penalty in the 2-0 loss against Liverpool, Bellingham was given the responsibility this time.
Mbappe then found the net eight minutes later, sealing the victory for his side.
Real Madrid claimed a 2-0 win in the La Liga clash, remaining in pursuit of leaders Barcelona.
Supporters praised Bellingham online for his ‘cool’ execution and celebration.
One fan remarked: “Jude Bellingham puts the GK down and reminds him he’s watching. Ice-cold.”
