After making Borussia Dortmund happy, Jude Bellingham (20 years old) is having a successful first season in the Real Madrid jersey. In 28 appearances in all competitions, he scored 20 goals and provided 7 assists. Monstrous statistics from the versatile midfielder. Everyone bows to his talent, like Thierry Henry. At the microphone of sky, the former Barça scorer praised the Madrilenian. His words are relayed by A.S..

“Look at this guy right now. You have to bow. I’m not a Madrid fan, you know. The first time I saw Bellingham play was in a friendly match between England and San Marino. He wanted every ball, every time I saw him, he wasn’t nervous at all, nothing. And we must also congratulate Ancelotti for the stratagem he uses. (…) I had the opportunity to play in many championships and footballers have it easy in England. The pressure and expectations you have to endure at Real Madrid or Barça are special. You take Zinedine Zidane’s number 5 and celebrate like that? (he imitates Bellingham’s goal celebration, editor’s note) Oh, well done my friend. Bellingham will appreciate it.
