Unsurprisingly, Jude Bellingham received the Kopa Trophy rewarding the best player under the age of 21, Monday evening during the Ballon d’Or ceremony. Eduardo Camavinga misses the podium.

After finishing 2nd and 4th in 2021 and 2022, Jude Bellingham received the 2023 Kopa Trophy, rewarding the best player under the age of 21 during the 2022-2023 season, Monday in Paris, during the Ballon d’Or ceremony . A fair reward for the 20-year-old English crack, who was elected untenable with Borussia Dortmund before shining brightly with Real Madrid since the start of the year.

Bellingham is logically ahead of Jamal Musiala, another Bundesliga phenomenon from last season, while it is Pedri, Kopa Trophy in 2021, who fails in 3rd position, thus ahead of Eduardo Camavinga. Small disappointment for the French international midfielder from Real Madrid, who had a full season with the Merengues in 2022-2023.
