Barcelona's joy was short-lived as Los Blancos restored their lead on 42 minutes when Eder Militao rose above his marker to head Vinicius' cross to the far post, where Bellingham was on hand to slot home.
Madrid were given the chance to extend their lead five minutes after the break from the penalty spot following a VAR review. Mbappe stepped up but saw his spot-kick tipped over the crossbar by Szczęsny.
Coach Xabi Alonso opted for a change on 72 minutes by introducing Rodrygo in place of Vinicius, who was not happy with the decision and stormed off down the tunnel in frustration.
Los Blancos kept pushing for more goals as they had the ball in the back of the net a few minutes later when Bellingham fired home close range, however the goal was ruled out for an offside in the build up.
