Bellingham scored his 9th and 10th goals of the season for Real Madrid in their 4-0 victory over Osasuna. With this win, the Spanish giants reclaimed their familiar position at the top of La Liga.There was a lot of pressure on Bellingham when he made the move to Real from Borussia Dortmund for £115 million. However, the 20-year-old midfielder has shown that he is worth every penny of that massive price tag.
In his first 10 appearances across all competitions, Bellingham has contributed 10 goals and 3 assists. These remarkable numbers even helped him equal a record set by Ronaldo in 2009. Bellingham’s second goal in the victory over Osasuna made him the first player since Ronaldo to score 10 goals in his first 10 matches for Los Blancos.
Witnessing this impressive form, Real fans believe that Bellingham could win the Ballon d’Or one day. “Jude is on his way to surpassing the legend of David Beckham in a few months,” one writer stated.
“How can he stay so calm in the penalty area? Jude deserves the Ballon d’Or,” another person tweeted.
“10 goals in 10 matches for the world’s biggest club at just 20 years old. Absolutely fantastic,” commented another individual. A particularly impressed fan even wrote, “Jude is just scoring for fun. Maybe he’s trying out the striker role.”
Manager Carlo Ancelotti also had words of praise for his young prodigy: “What’s surprising about Bellingham is that he’s only 20 years old but feels like he’s already 30. Jude is always focused on the game and knows what he needs to do. That’s rare to see in a 20-year-old player.”
