At Dortmund, Jude Bellingham nicknamed Meunier the “Belgian Beckham”, highlighting the full-back’s talent for finding his teammates in the opponent’s box with his crosses.
Meunier is even more effusive about his former teammate: “If Jude was a stock and I had put a Euro on him when he left Birmingham, I might stop working,” praised Meunier in So Foot. “ He’s a guy who moves the lines. He already had this oral ease and this entrepreneurial spirit, while many players of his age are content to stay a little behind“.
A maturity also noted by his coach at the time, Edin Terzic: “ He is the oldest young player in the world“. Real were obviously right to invest in the Benjamin Button of football…
