"I’m not coming here to be Zidane, he was amazing," Bellingham said, his tone laced with humility. "I’m trying to be Jude Bellingham who continues the number 5 legacy."
Bellingham’s point is clear – he’s not here to emulate another player’s success, but to forge his own path. And judging by his impressive debut season at Real Madrid, he’s already making waves.
The 21-year-old has established himself as a key player for Los Blancos, netting 23 goals and registering 13 assists in his first season at the club. His stats are impressive, but it’s his confidence and charisma that have truly won over the Bernabeu faithful.
So, what drives Bellingham’s approach to the game? The midfielder explained, "I enjoy being a Real Madrid player, through the good times and the bad times, when you have to pick yourself up and try again… Everything to do with playing at the highest level at such a big club is incredible for me."
As he continues to navigate the highs and lows of elite football, it’s clear that Bellingham is committed to putting in the hard work necessary to achieve success.
