Many observers are in awe of Jude Bellingham’s form. The best player in the world right now.
The 20-year-old has been in stunning form since the start of the season. This is the first time he has played for Real Madrid since leaving Borussia Dortmund last summer. In nine appearances for the club, he has scored eight goals, the latest of which came in Napoli’s 3-2 Champions League defeat on Tuesday night.
Bellingham also scored in Real Madrid’s first match in this season’s competition, in the 1-0 win over Union Berlin. By scoring in his first two matches for the club in the Champions League, he emulated Cristiano Ronaldo, who did the same after joining Manchester United in 2009.
If Bellingham has even half of Ronaldo’s Real Madrid career, then he will have been an exceptional buy. He’s certainly in a remarkable vein of form at the moment, and Madridistas will be hoping that continues for a long time.
